Wow what an amazing week we have had with Clay and Erin!! They were here a total of 8 days and the Lord used them in mighty ways each and every day. We did so much that I can't talk about everything but I will try to give you the highlights of the trip. We were able to minister to many people while they were here.This first blog is the serious and in the next few days I will post the extra things we did.
First Clay preached Sunday and Thursday to the church and Preston translated. They both did a phenomenal job. Clay spoke about the Lord's prayer and taught the people how they too could begin to have a prayer life. The people in the church really seemed to be touched by the message.
Clay and Erin spent several days ministering to the people in the church. The people from the church of course really fell in love with them!!!
Throughout the week we would go out in the mornings and the evenings to distribute fliers about the new church and about some upcoming events this summer.It was neat because we opened up this mission opportunity to the church and many people responded. Everyday there was at least 3 or 4 people from La Esperanza with us. It is neat to see them join in the spreading of the gospel already. We were able to complete 6 large neighborhoods. We have received a few phone calls. We are really praying for all the people who received information and for them to be moved by the Lord in His perfect timing!
Tuesday we were able to minister to a woman from the church named Brigida. She came over and taught Erin and I how to make a traditional Mexican dish. We were able to spend the day with her and hopefully encourage her. She loves to both cook and teach...we wanted to bless her but she really blessed us!!
It is like Angie W. said....Puerto Vallarta will never be the same after this trip. I truly believe that. I really feel like the Lord used Clay and Erin. They were so willing to be used by the Lord whether it was ministering to new believers, passing out hope to the lost, encouraging and ministering to us, praying for the city or just the love they display for our Lord. Please join praying that PV will never be the same. Pray the Lord will use this past week to bring glory and honor to His name!!!
Everyone- thanks for your prayers for this week....the Lord is still on the move here!!
Clay and Erin- We will never be able to thank you enough. You will never understand how much you blessed us by just coming. I know the Lord is proud of you both. Thank you for your love and passion for Him. We thank the Lord for the friendship He has given us may we only grow closer! Thank you for working so diligently for our King no matter where you are!!!! We love you guys!!!!! P&C

It was good to read about the story God continues to write through you and Preston in PV. It is neat to see how God's love is for everyone, everywhere. I enjoyed reading about Clay and Erin and the impact their presence will have on the brothers and sisters in Christ that we have and will have through Christ in PV. We love you both! We are missing you and holding you close in our prayers.
