The boys are back in town... and girls too!

As I walked in the door at the casa verde my heart was filled with joy to see 2 students hanging out playing x-box, 1 getting help with english homework, 3 helping cook for dinner later in the night, and all the staff running frantically around trying to get ready for En Vivo (bible study).  It's a an amazing thing to see the house filled with activity again and God's will being done.  Summertime in Puebla is great: everything is more low key and there is a lot of good fellowship with the few students who are in town.  But there is just something about the start of a new semester and lots of students back filling the campus house. 

Our semester began not quite as planned, but God was in the midst of all it.  Our planning time was absolutely crazy with several unplanned trips to the states by staff members for various reasons and Frizz, our member from Chile, getting delayed on returning.  But we had a great team retreat to begin the semester and have been super busy ever.  We have 2 new interns and 1 exchange student ready to pour themselves into El Pozo.

Our first two weeks of the semester have been filled with parties, bible studies, devotional lunches, leadership night, several trips to the movies, soccer games, and lots of great fellowship.  I am continually amazed with the amount of new people who continue to get involved at the Casa Verde.  It brings a smile to my face to see all the old and new faces take over the casa verde every Tuesday night and Thursday and see friendships develop. 

I can't wait to see what God has in store for El Pozo this semester and to see how the hearts of students are changed.  

Thanks for all your prayers and support.  Please continue to pray for us and the ministry God has called us to.

Much Love, 

Karen
