For the past week we have had rain, rain, rain. The hurricane Tomas did not strike us directly, but it has left us soaked and more rain is on the way. On Friday evening the streets were all flooded with water covering the curbs. Youth meeting was poorly attended as a result. In addition two young ladies were absent because their mother was in the hospital due to severe asthma. Esperanza has a chronic and severe problem with asthma. Please pray for her.
Herminia is recovering from shoulder surgery. She will be laid up for a while before she is able to get around comfortably.
Pray also for Alvino. He heard the Gospel last Tuesday and was very receptive. Several others showed interest in the tracts we gave them, though we were unable to have an extended conversation with them. We are trusting the Lord to do His work in these lives.

Teen Meeting
Last Friday we hosted a youth meeting in our home. We've been averaging about 8 to 10 each Friday, but this last meeting was attended by about 22 people (including our family). At least one of these was an unsaved teen. He also came to church on Sunday! Pray for Kevin to respond to the Spirit's prompting. We enjoyed some good food, good Scripture songs, Bible study, and some fun and games. Everyone had a great time. It was good to have such a break out attendance, but our desire is for the Lord to reach each teen at the point of his or her greatest need. Pray with us.
One of our church members suffered a serious fall last week. Herminia is 79 and rather weak. Her episode of imbalance caused her to break her right arm and shoulder in 3 places. The accident occurred last Wednesday, surgery was on Thursday, and she was sent home Friday morning. She is rather sore and somewhat discouraged. Teresa visited her in the hospital on Thursday evening just after we found out about the fall. I was on my way to pick up folks for the midweek service, so I didn't get to see her until Sunday afternoon. She will be sidelined for a bit, but we hope to encourage her to keep trusting in the Lord for strength.
