"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." John 7:38 NKJV



Hello Everyone!

We hope that you're all doing very well and that you got our newsletter that we mailed! If not, please let us know so that we can send you one in the future. So much has happened, over the last few months in Mexico, we're excited to update you all with some pictures!

First of all, we'd really like to introduce you to a local church in Granjas. God is really doing an amazing work in this community, and His church is growing! The church is actually no longer able to hold the number of people that come to worship there, so they are currently holding their services outside. We hope that sometime you will be able to come visit this awesome work, and that you'll keep the people of Granjas in your prayers. We've been blessed at CTC to be able to work closely with this church, the Pastor, Pastor Gonzalo, even teaches our Bible study here on Wednesday nights. We look forward to updating you more on what God is doing at this church! Here are a few pictures from the neighborhood of Granjas:

A few weeks ago, CTC was blessed to host a huge gathering of a few local churches, including our own Wednesday night Bible study. Pastor Gonzalo taught, some of the children performed, and our Bible study presented a drama that Brennan got to participate in. Check out these pictures from the gathering and potluck: 
 
 
 
 
Last month was “Marriage Month”, so to speak, for Calvary Chapel Rosarito (Angelina and I were grateful to attend some of there classes on marriage), and to wrap it up, they had a huge Date Night that CTC got to host. It was so much fun to decorate our dining room that usually only seats missionaries and kids and to turn it in to a romantic restaurant. It was even more fun to pretend to be waiters and chefs and to serve them while they played games and fellowshipped. You should have seen our packed kitchen while we prepared chocolate cake for 80+ guests! We even served chocolate strawberries for desert! It was very romantic :) Check out these pictures. 
We're really excited because tonight our first summer team has arrived, and they are the first team that we got to prepare for personally. God really showed us and taught us a lot while trying to plan for their trip. He had a plan in mind for them and was the One in complete control; we're so grateful.  The team is from Calvary Chapel Redbluff; they'll be working a lot with the church in Granjas as well as doing VBS in some other areas. We will take some pictures to show you how everything goes in our next blog. Hopefully, we'll be taking pictures of YOU here soon! :-) This next coming month is really busy with teams and we're definitely looking forward to it. Ministering with teams is so much fun.  
Angelina is almost half way through her pregnancy! We're so excited! Her tummy is really getting big and cute. We only have a few more doctor's appointments before we'll be coming back to Las Vegas to serve at CC Spring Valley during our third trimester (September-November 16-ish). Thank you for your prayers. Love you all, and talk to you soon! God bless, Brennan and Angelina
