Solis Update - 11/18/08

Dear Christian Friends,

Greetings from Jerez, Zacatecas, Mexico!  This year has been reasonable for us; it seems to have gone by very quickly! Currently we have 8 Bible studies or services a week.  Jose continues his radio programs in TX and here in Jerez.  Proverbs 16:3 encourages us:  Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

We enjoyed having Mom and Dad with us here in Jerez for January and February.  They are a great help and encouragement.  In January we resumed pastoral duties in La Ermita after a church split there.

In May we were able to renew without problem my FM 3 Mexican immigration document.  In July we enjoyed having youth from BCLR to help us with VBS.  This year we had it in 4 locations instead of 3; we had several professions of faith.  We were also privileged having Dr. Coye  with us that week..  He gave Jose and me both physicals and has continued to help Jose in regulating his medications for diabetes and high blood pressure.  Jose takes 9 pills each morning!

In August I was able to spend a couple weeks in IL with the family.   Jose stayed in Mexico leading the churches.  Actually he was very ill the end of August and the beginning of September.

We are preparing for a wedding on Sunday and then Lord willing  we plan to spend a few days with our kids in Dallas for Thanksgiving.  We also have some business to attend to in Pharr.

Jose and I want to thank all our friends and supporters for their faithfulness.  We desire for each of you a bountiful Thanksgiving and a blessed Christmas!
