Sunday in Pátzcuaro

I want to thank my family and friends for your prayers. Thank you so much!

Paul, Lila (from Venezuela), and I are here in Pátzcuaro for the week.
It is a town of immense culture and unique beauty.  It has an
altitude of over 7,100 ft., compared with Denver at 5,280.

There is much tourism here, particularly this time a year, as
Pátzcuaro is known around the world for its special attention to the
observance of the Day of the Dead, a holiday in Spanish speaking
countries that is similar in concept to Memorial day, but often
appears a lot more like Halloween and is celebrated the day after
(11/1), primarily by Catholics.

Paul preached at this morning's service on Who Jesus Is (Matthew
16:13-20), and a man in the front made a profession of faith at the
end of the message.

I am planning to speak at the service this evening.  My hope is to
share what God has done elsewhere on these projects and encourage them
for the coming week in which we will be visiting their friends and
family members who are lost.
