Dear friends,

I want to share with you some news that happend lately. I'm enjoying my nephew who was born a few weeks ago. He is a nice boy and is growing fast, like an asparagus :), as babies do. He has no name yet. I want to name him Benjamin Aaron or Cristian Aaron, but my brother and sister-in-law are figuring out if it is okay :).

Another thing, concerning my family, I don't remember if I told you that my sister Carmen had knee surgery on both of her knees a few month ago. Now she is doing well and walking by herself after a few months of staying in bed.

On May first, Labor Day, we all had the day off. Our church went on a retreat to have a good time of bible teaching, praying, and fellowship. During the recreational time, we played football, volleyball and frisbee(It reminded me of my time in the States, when I used to play with my friends).

On May 30, our church will have a mission program during the sunday school hour and again in the service at night. We will have the worship time with mission songs, show short mission documentaries about the mission work in India and north Africa, watch a short mission's movie, a children's mission focused lesson, and I'll show the power point presentation that I presented at Abingdon Bible Church as my final report in the Internship program at ABC. I'm in charge of this program, so please pray that God guides and helps us to do everything in prayer and uses this program to encourage the church to continue with the mission work in the world.

I also want to let you to know, that yesterday I started going to an orphanage to read a mission's story with the children and teens from this orphanage, which they really liked and paid good attention. I'll be going once each week. In a later post I'll include some pictures of this.

That's all for now, thank you for your prayers, encouragement and for taking your time to check on my blog.
