Mexico is home for many, and a comfort of simplicity.

Hey everyone for the past two weeks we have been in General Cepeda, MX. We have been visiting the home-bound, going to the Ranchos and praying/ giving teachings/ testimonies/ talking, with the people there. It is so great to see God working daily, in all of the small things that i do around the house in General Cepeda! I recently have been going to this place in town called the comedor and it is basically; a government run building where they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the homeless, and those who cannot afford food. We share on a scripture there and talk about it and visit with the men there it is such a blessing to see their faces light you when you talk about Jesus!

Something that has recently blessed me is this! There is this man who comes to the comedor and he is employed by the government to clean up around the town cutting the weeds. At the end of his day he cuts down branches to use for linnia (firewood) which is carries on his back so it has been a blessing for me to be able to take that burden, or load and help him carry it, he is 81 years old!

A short term mission trip has come down to General Cepeda yesterday and God will be moving mightily in this group! So pray that all goes well!

Some other good news is i found out where i will be stationed for my formative year! I will be stationed with a fellow intaker Ryan, and a seasoned "missonary" Luis (native to Venezuela) We will be working with the sisters, and the local priests there!

We are all excited! Pray that everything i have written about goes according to God's will.

Peace in Jesus, Mateo
