July 13 - Eric did not join us and will probably not get here until next week. We met up with Chris Rattay, the senior Pastor Jesus of the Red Familia Church, his son Omar, and Alfonso, a church Elder who speaks great English at the place where we are staying. This place is a former automobile dealership and the guys are staying at the ground floor while the girls, Mei and I are upstairs. There is one shower room with 6 stalls so we have to allocate when the guys can shower and the girls, but separate toilets adequate for our use. We have to get transported to the church proper, about 5 minutes away by car for meals and meetings. The accommodations are primitive by past Vision tour standards, but the fellowship even in our first meeting is warm. There is no internet here and only at the church, so do not expect regular updates. We finally got to bed about midnight.
We woke up after 7 so we could have a time of worship and devotions. Three church members then shuttled us to the Red Familia Church where we ate a full breakfast of delicious fruit, scrambled eggs with ham, and bread, tea, coffee etc. Chris then gave us good briefing on the local Mexican culture, how open and warm the people are here. We then spent about half an hour practicing how to listen to God. Then Chris gave us some basics on how to pray for healing and the Biblical reasons to pray for healing. Maggie and his kids, Josiah, Jaden, and Samantha joined us for lunch.
