Dear Praying Friends and Family,

One of the most frustrating things I have ever done is work through the immigration process for Teo.  Over a year ago we received incorrect information from the US Consulate in Juarez, which caused me to make an incorrect decision.  So Teo’s immigration has taken over a year longer then what it should have taken and based on the information we have just receive it is questionable as to whether or not Teo will be granted residency.  This is very frustrating for me and I would appreciate your prayers for me and that we can complete the final paper work and Teo will be granted permanent residency before we leave Baker City the end of July for our trip back east and our return to Mexico the end of September.

One of our greatest hopes is that our immigration into eternity is not so complicated or questionable.  We have the assurances and promises of GOD that we are forever HIS Children.  I have always received great comfort from Jesus’ prayer for us.  I hope that as you read through this, that what every struggle you have today you will know that it is Christ who is praying for you and know that this day will pass, but our eternity with Christ is as sure as HIS Promises to us.

John 17:20-26

20 ¶  "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;
21  "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
22  "And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:
23  "I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
24 ¶  "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
25  "O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me.
26  "And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."

On a brighter note, Derek is one of the greatest blessings in our lives and he brings us great joy each day.  Here are some photos from Derek’s first birthday party.

Teo has made friends with a Mexican lady here and she has had many opportunities to share with her.  Both her and her husband seem very open to the Gospel and have expressed interest in seeing the Jesus movie.  Please pray that we can make arrangements to have dinner and share this movie with them.

Please keep our return to Mexico in your prayers.  We will be in Baker City Oregon for two more months then travel to Nebraska, Wisconsin and Tennessee, before returning to Mexico the end of September.  I am still make plans for this trip back east and to Mexico; please pray that all the arrangements can come together and be in place soon.

With the Love of Christ
