Wedding, baptism, new building, and so on.

Well, here we are again after several months with no posting. As you might imagine, a lot has been going on around here, but no updates. So, here's to catching you up a little.

Several trips have been made to Mexico and elsewhere - at this time I do not have photos to post of the visits abroad, but all is well.

Brian Gray and Brianna Ekstedt were married last february here in Monett, MO. It was a beautiful wedding ceremony. You may watch the whole thing from start to finish on youtube. The format is as follows:

Final Song and Closing Prayer 1:24:10


Lord willing, their first child is due at the end of november.

We sold the other tiny house on the church property and are instead building a simple structure that will have 3 small studio apartments in it. The brothers began building it this past weekend.

Brother Kevns moved to another location near their previous one. The brothers all got together a few times to build him a shop. It's finished now, but here is one of the work in progress.

Here are a few photos of fellowship meetings over the spring and summer.

Foot washing was a few months ago - this photo was too special not to share.

And last but certainly not least, Arthur has decided to commit his life to following Jesus. Praise the Lord! He was baptized yesterday at Roaring River State Park.

 

 Back in the spring of 2016 brother Gustavo got baptized.

vo was baptized.

Here are some photos from a trip in january 2016 to Columbia to see the brethren. 

Recent Trip to Mexico

Recently most of the brethren from every part of Mexico, a few from Guatemala, and some from the U.S. were blessed to all meet together in Mexico for a few days of fellowship and 3 baptisms. Right now we only have photos of one baptism - that will be at the end of this post. We'll edit and add the others when available.
The first few photos are of the whole group, the brothers, the sisters. The next are miscellaneous shots of meetings, meals, and so on. Praise the Lord!
