Hi again!
Hope that you all are doing well and that you've had a wonderful last few weeks!
We have a lot to celebrate and update you on with this last busy month here in Mexico!

| The proud teachers and students pose with their diplomas |
A few days after our last post, we were so blessed to see the students of Ninos del Rey running up to us with certificates in their hands! Many of them received “diplomas” congratulating them for being first or second in their classes, and we are so proud! We are so grateful for all of the teachers that so faithfully work with these children, helping them not only with their homework, but teaching them about God's love for them. We know that they are making such a difference in the lives of these children, trusting in God's word “train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it” Proverbs 22:6.
Walking by faith in this promise we have begun a Bible study at the City of Angels orphanage. These past two weeks we've been getting to know the wonderful orphanage family. It's awesome to be coming alongside such a beautiful work of the Lord and to see the directors of the orphanage leading the precious kids in His way. Take a look at some pictures from our times with them:
Thank you so much for your prayers for the Cirad Rehabilitation Center as well! The Bible studies with the youth continue to go well, and the first few studies with the adults have definitely been interesting to say the least! At the first study, during the teaching, one man led his own rendition of “La Cucharacha” for everyone to enjoy. It was definitely awkwardly funny, but the Lord really moved as we got to pray with him and many more of the men afterwards. Please continue to pray for God's Spirit to be guiding through His Word; for salvation and discipleship; and continued guidance for them when they are released from the center.
We've really been seeing God move in the “community clean up” ministry here. Last week, while a team from CCSV was here, we were able to do some weeding, trash clean up, and a small outreach at the El Campo soccer field(this is the same field where we plan to begin evangelistic English classes soon), and the locals were so blessed by it! A few pictures from the outreach:
Looking ahead, we plan to do a similar outreach there next week, and another one geared towards connecting the people with local churches on April 30th for a big holiday here called “Day of the Kid!” Jadon sure is glad we live in Mexico because we don't have this holiday in the US! Please keep these upcoming outreaches in your prayers- that God's name would be glorified and that many would come to know Him. We look forward to sharing with you how they went in our next blog.
A few more Praise requests because God is so good:
-He has provided many donations for the evangelistic English classes we look forward to starting! This is an answer to prayer! We hope to begin May 7th.
-On March 22, our friends Jorje and Erika had their baby Santi!!

| Adorable baby Santiago |
And yesterday, him and Jadon met for the first time, they are sure to be amigos por siempre. Thank you for your prayers, Momma and baby are both healthy.

-Also, this week, our co-missionaries James and Charmaine will be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary on April 19th!!Woohoo!
-And lastly, we are praising God because Easter is almost here!! Jesus is risen, our Redeemer lives!! We are looking so forward to celebrating His resurrection!
We are actually very spoiled because our family is bringing us to Las Vegas next week to celebrate with them. We hope to get to see some of you while we're there! As always, please email us any prayer requests. We are praying that you are filled with all the joy that we find in serving our risen Savior Jesus this Easter =).
In Christ's Love,
Brennan, Angelina, and Jadon
