    So many times, thank you seems

    inadequate, doesnt it? Well, it certainly

    does this time! We want to thank theWeaver Family for their wonderful ministry

    here in Mexico this summer. From the very

    beginning, they were involved in work and

    ministry projects and were such a blessing

    not only to our family but to Mexico Bible

    Methodist Missions!

    In our last newsletter, we shared with

    you about the first project they led the La

    Boca Project. That was a great success and

    the church and property look much

    improved. Nathan was also instrumental in

    traveling to and advising in another work

    project in Galeana. The project with which

    he was able to use his carpentry skills the

    ~ We so much enjoyed being able

    to attend and participate in the

    Heartland BM Youth Camp again

    this summer. Both the older boys

    were campers this year. We

    soaked in the sense of Gods

    presence and His help in the

    services and being able to worship

    in our own language. ~ Another highlight was being

    able to be present for Melodies

    parents 40th Wedding Anniversary

    Celebration on July 24. What a

    special occasion and it was so

    wonderful to see lots of family

    and friends there, too!

    ~ First Day of SankeyHomeschool 10-11 August 16!

    ~ We are looking forward to a

    visit from Marcs parents in

    September as they celebrate 50

    years of marriage!

    that not only will their bodies be healed and

    helped through our cliniceffort but that their

    hearts will be touched and

    during one of the services.

    Thank you, also to those of you who

    partnered with the Weavers to help them

    raise their full support for their time in

    Mexico. They were able to travel here and

    back and care for their own expenses while

    here and at home. That is because God

    supplied and you gave! Thank you!
