Roblealto Christmas party




Last Wednesday the whole family had the opportunity to help out with a Christmas fair for a local orphanage. Our family was in charge of a bowling game--and we had lots of fun!
There was all sorts of games, face painting, piñatas and presents for all of the children.
In addition, the kids put on a small production of the gospel story that was amazing. There were lots of happy kids and tired hosts at the end of the day. But it was a fun opportunity to serve together as a family. Thanks for all of the pictures, Curtis.

Tuesday Bible Studies

I (Heather) have had a wonderful opportunity to get involved in a Bible Study on Tuesday afternoons. It originally started as an outreach to young pregnant ladies--but has evolved to include moms with small kids. We've had a small but committed group of ladies the last few weeks and it has been a blessing and an encouragement to study the book of Luke together. Many of the ladies come from very religious, mostly Catholic backgrounds--but they have never really had the opportunity to study the Bible. A small group of students from the Language Institute take turns leading the study and watching the kids which has been great Spanish practice. But we are all thankful that the word of God and the Holy Spirit can have an impact despite our less-than-perfect spanish.
