Despedida for Josue
Today was the “Despedida”, or goodbye party for our pastor and his family at our church here in Mexico. They are leaving to work in Houston, Texas, at a hispanic church there. I preached the message today, and I spoke about the fact that we are not losing a pastor, but we are sending a missionary family. There are 800,000 people in Houston that speak Spanish, so the pastor and his family are definitely going to be missionaries there. I spoke on God’s call of Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3 and how we must be willing to leave some things behind, expect some unknown things, and then God will bless us and we will be a blessing. It was a difficult sermon to preach (they gave me a few days notice), but overall it went well. Then we had a meal together after church. All of the people at church love Nathan. Next Sunday, we will officially “present” him before the church.
