Lil' update

Hey to all... I hope that you are all doing great and hanging in there.  I wanted to give you all a bit of insight into what Juli and I are doing this week, and also some perspective on all of this flu stuff from here in Mexico.  First of all we are doing great and not at all worried.  There are many here in Tepic walking around with masks and many businesses and all the schools are closed, but there is really no reason to worry.  I was up at my home church last week and spoke about going from an attitude of worry to an attitude of worship.  What a great test!  We hear all of the news about the spread of the flu and how it is going to affect the economy and our daily lives and our minds wander all over the place.  WE SHOULDN'T WORRY.  God is in control and we have that confidence in our lives and it is our jobs to share that confidence with those who are freaking out.  Anyway, Juli is off school which is cool for me because she can hang with me as we are currently hosting a group from Oregon who are here for two weeks to help do community outreach in Compostela.  We are going to be continually working alongside them as well as our other ministry stuff.  All is good though, it is getting really HOT, and we are just getting started with the summer.  Anyway, let's all stay encouraged and whenever we begin to feel that worry or fear creeping in, shrug it off and trust in the One who has total control.  God Bless you guys, let me know how you are doing...

I John 4:4 - You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
