Guadalajara Guadalajara GUADALAJARA!!!

Over the weekend Ramiro and I had the chance to go with the Palafox and Gary families to Guadalajara, Jalisco, the second biggest city in Mexico only behind Mexico City. Omar is from Guadalajara and thats where his parents still live and work in the church. Omar's dad planted a church in Guadalajara and this past weekend was there 20 year anniversary! This may not seem like a big deal to most, but after being on the mission field for only 6 months I know how much FAITH and HARD WORK is needed to do something like this. It was such an encouragement to be apart of their celebration. Ramiro and I helped out with what we could of just serving in any way possible and we were happy to do it. The 'Zapopan' Church reminisced on the past some and gave credit to the members where credit was due, but there was also a theme of looking to the future. They were looking forward to where God will lead them in the next 20 years. Omar and his dad have a passion and it lies in planting churches. They love God and want other people to know about God's love. To be around men like this is a huge blessing to me that I couldn't explain.

The Church needs more men like these two! Please pray for Omar and Haro Palafox as they are doing their best to spread the gospel and plant churches in Mexico. Please pray for Strength, wisdom, faith, and patience in helping lead God's family!
