Cuernavaca and back and then something new

This past weekend was a ton of fun. The weather here has turned cold and it is still raining daily. Yesterday we found many creatures running for their lives into our house. I sprayed around the perimeter of our house two days ago for bugs and others and low and behold they were not afraid of us or my poison. A little 8 inch snake showed up in our guest room. Youch! I'm not sure if that is a sign of deeper issues in my life. We'll have to take that one to a counselor. And it seems weekly we kill a scorpion in our house, the non-lethal ones.

Another group rolled into town as well, the good kind; Christine's sister, husband and 3 of 4 of their kids came to Cuernavaca. They used to live there about 2 years working with a church. It was such a blessing to see them, hang, connect and meet some of their friends.

We arrived back late to our house on Sunday night and the next morning two friends, Asriel y Adriana, of Craig's from Oaxaca showed up to help us this week. Craig met them about 6 years ago while he was living in Oaxaca, Mexico planting spiritual movements all over the region. These two lead a network of spiritual movements focused on Christ there in Oaxaca and bring a ton of experience, knowledge and wisdom to what we're doing here in D.F.

Yesterday we took them to an appointment with a church leader Edgar Torraya and two of his friends. This was encouraging to me as we talked less and the gals took over sharing their vision, experiences and answering questions. It is great when you relinquish control and hand it over to the next generation how great and effective it seems to work. The group of men seemed interested and will go back and see how many of their university students and other pastors in their network want to see if anyone is interested in adopting a university and/or staring a spiritual movement on their campus.

Then off to dinner for sirloin steak hamburgers. Pretty good but In and Out still would explode successfully here. Anyone want to start a franchise? Because Mexico City has it all and is growing like hot cakes or like "hot ones" from Krispee Cream we headed to Krispee Cream to share a little of American Culture with the gals. Isa liked it too.

No more creatures have showed up and the Broncos won last night. All is well.

Today we head off to meet two more networks of churches and university students. One is Ryan and Cristy, who are Assembly of God missionaries. They are bringing a group of interested pastors. Then tonight we are meeting a 2nd time with those at Capital City Baptist church who are interested in starting spiritual movements at their universities. God is good and each day we acquire new contacts, enter into new pastor alliances and are trusting God for a model movement in the next 4 weeks.
