We are very happy, and also very busy with our daughters. We would like to share with you that there will be a new member to the Giles family! This will be our 3rd baby. We are very excited about that. Praise the Lord!
Lord willing, We'll be going to the border for ten days because Danny and Ingrid's tourist VISA expires the 28th. In order to get another tourist VISA, we have to be out of Mexico for ten days. We are hoping to all go as a family this time up so please pray for that we can do exactly that this time.
We have a new girl coming to the youth group (Miriam) her family lived in Texas until about a year ago and her family now lives in Jerez. Guillermo Perez (Memo), a young man of the youth group is planning to go to AFLBS next year the same time as Rachel Schierkolk so we are encouraging him to go and to learn English in the time being. He studies English on Saturdays. Please pray that he will be able to go. We know that he will be a big testimony for a lot of people, in his family and also in the whole town since his family is very well know in Jerez.
Abril and Cesar also need your prayers. They are doing very very well. Cesar faith is growing a lot. He wants to do things God's way even though his family is very hard on him for doing so. His parents are not happy because Cesar brings his family to church. Cesar's parents don't want their grandchild to attend to Church, and at some point hey even confronted him about that, but Abril and Cesar as a couple decided that they want their son, David, to grow in the Church starting at an early age. They are also expecting their second baby. We are very proud of them. They are very young (Cesar is 19 and Abril is 18) but there faith is strong.
Marcela's Mom is doing much better. She found a doctor who finally was able to treat her depression with the right medicine. Thank you for praying for her.
The following are our prayer requests:
- Abril, Cesar, and David. That they keep walking with the Lord, and their baby soon to be born.
- Marcela's health. She is pregnant with our third child.
- Memo's English and his plans to go AFLBS.
- Our trip to the border the 28th of October. That the van permit would be "in hand" before the trip. Van hasn't been driven since July.
- The youth group. (Miriam, Paty, Jessica, Hilda, Oscar, Lizeth, Memo, Abraham, Omar, Megan, Rachel, Monse, Chayo)
- A digital video camera for the youth group. We are trying to start a Christian Drama Ministry. They have so much talent!
Praises:
- We praise the Lord for our new baby! (Alexandra Natalia=girl, Robert Emmanuel=boy)
- For Miriam, the new girl in the youth group. She already is a believer.
- Marcela's mom, Mrs. Lozano, healthy recovery.
- For the great fall weather in Jerez.
- We praise the Lord for His constant care for Us and our daughters. We are all very healthy and happy.
- And for all of you Brothers and Sisters in Christ who pray and support us.
In His Mighty Service,
Dan, Marcela, Ariadna & Andrea Giles.
