Some great news

I've forgotten the number of times one has to perform a task before it becomes a habit. Nor do I remember how long it takes to "get out" of a habit. However, I do know that I went almost two months without blogging, and now, after getting back to normal, everyday life, I have written one blog, with the intention of again writing each week. Alas, one week was not enough to get me back into the habit. The next week, I had completely forgotten to set aside time to blog, and worse, did not realize it until mid-week. However, I have had some news that I have wanted to share with you for some weeks, now.
Several months ago, I sent out an "urgent need" e-mail explaining two medical situations that were happening with two of our families at Comunidad de Cristo. Little Alex was suffering from, what was tested to be TB and Eliseo was in need of surgery due to Prostate Cancer. Many of you promptly replied with monetary gifts. Since then, Alex has undergone treatment and is doing very well. Eliseo's surgery was a success, although he continues to battle with painful bones and joints. While we were in Canada, we received the good news that Eliseo and his daughter, Lulu, had decided to come under the authority of Jesus in baptism. This family was one of the first families that Malcolm and Tammy met when they first moved to Lazaro Cardenas almost five years ago. They have been a part of many Bible Studies and groups. However, when this family saw love in action and the sacrifice of Canadians to help people they didn't even know in another country, it made a huge impact on them. This family is forever grateful for the help that fellow Christians gave them. Knowing that Eliseo has been given a "new life" when he was sent home to die, has helped the family understand Christ's love. Thank you to all those who helped financially, and with prayers. We never know how God will use the circumstances in our lives to bring about good for our souls. I've included photos of the baptisms as testimony of God's goodness, especially in times of trial.
Until next week,
Bernard, Alicia and Logan
