Sunday~ We only had a small church service because of the flu but it was still very encouraging and uplifting. After the service, we had a big lunch with everyone out on the grass. Later in the afternoon, we had a team meeting and discussed our situation here in Mexico City. Stephen had talked to the leadership team in Mazatlan and they had brought up the option that maybe we should return to Mazatlan and see how this influenza situation developed and if it got better in a couple weeks then we could return. Our team spent some time in prayer to see what God wanted us to do and almost all of us received verses from God which told us to stay. We received Isaiah 52:12, Psalm 121, 1 Corinthians 15:55-58; 16:13, and 1 Peter 5:8-11. All of these verses confirmed that God wants us here for the time being but Stephen received Proverbs 24:5-6 which reminded us that those in Mazatlan are our authorities so if they feel it would be wise to come home at some point then we should submit to their will. It was really awesome to receive so much confirmation from God and we continue to receive words of confirmation.

Monday~ We were supposed to go to a high school today but since all the schools are closed in Mexico, that fell through. Instead, we were planning on going and doing some dramas at a retirement home but they called at the last minute and cancelled. We ended up painting props for the churches summer VBS. That didn't take too long so we spent the later part of the afternoon playing fubol/soccer with the youth from the church. It's frustrating having all the things we were planning on doing fall through but we are still getting to serve the church.
