We were delighted to participate in the Palmas Church’s first Sunday of 2024. Afterwards we took a picture…thankful for lots of visitors also this first Sunday of the year!<\/p>\n

The night before a bunch of kids descended on our house and celebrated a Mexican custom rosca de reyes<\/em> where small plastic “baby Jesus” dolls are hidden in a tasty pastry. The person who discovered the little figurine has to buy tamales in February.<\/p>\n

We are currently raising funds for the purchase of a church property for this church. If you’re interested in helping out, please let us know!<\/p>\n

Last week we had a great time with pastor Martin and his wife Laura and kids Abraham, Ceci and Jos\u00e9 Manuel. Amanda Nissley also joined us. And of course…a rosca de reyes<\/em>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the weeks ahead we’ll once again be in PA, representing our mission Liebenzell USA<\/a> at Cairn University and Lancaster Bible College.<\/p>\n

If you or anyone you know would be interested in a 4-8 week summer internship with us in Mexico this summer, or if you know of a church that would enjoy serving with us for a week this summer, please shoot me an email at rfry@liebenzellusa.org\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n
