A few milliseconds required weeks of repair.  In the middle of the night, the first week of June, I leaped out of bed at the KABOOM of a lightning strike.  The next morning we discovered that the electrical charge had passed through the regulator and damaged our desktop computer, the router and the phone/fax machine.

A phone call from a lawyer who has an office in the same building as Lynn called to say that a thief had entered the building the night before.  The lawyer wanted Lynn to come down to see if anything had been stolen from his office.  Answer:  YES.  The laptop computer that Lynn used for word processing was gone.

Two weeks ago the laptop we keep at home that Lynn uses when giving classes and conferences froze and died, requiring a new mother board.  “Hmmm,”  we comment,  “what is this all about?”

What else has the summer brought?

A precious new granddaughter born to Dan and Kelly.

A time to connect with a daughter, a sister, and a dear friend.

Our annual field council meeting.

A visit from Pastor Dale and Judi Cope of Stanchfield, MN.

Working with a team from Broomfield Community Church of Colorado.  In the mornings we worked on the painting and repairs of the building in which our church, Grace of God, meets.  In the afternoon we joined the team of New Jerusalem Baptist Church to offer a week of VBS.  Approximately 150 children heard the Good News!

AND THE SUMMER ISN´T OVER YET!

Lynn leaves tomorrow for a weekend in Monterrey, Mexico.  He will be presenting at the Metropolitan Hospital´s course:  Counseling in Crisis.   Please pray for safety in his travels.

On the 14th of August we will be graduating 12 students from the Marriage and Family Therapy Course Lynn has taught for the past 18 months.  Please pray that the students will multiply the ministry of counseling in their churches.

We continue to wait for the opportunity to present a work plan to the State of Jalisco Human services department.  Please pray that a date can be set and that their response will be positive, allowing evangelicals to offer programs of restoration, counseling,  and intervention.

Thank you for your continued involvement in the ministry in Guadalajara!
