Dear God, I pray for our friends who are experiencing sadness in their lives due to illnesses of family members, I pray for my husband and I to receive understanding of our puppy's needs, I pray for balance in our lives that allow us to be less stressed and more loving as partners to each other, and I pray for my husband's mentality to be enriched with happiness to where he feels satisfied and loved. Thank you for all of your blessings each and every day. Amen.

Please pray for our missionaries to Semilla de Mostaza Santa Monica Mexico, Raechael and Patricio Garduno who send the following updates and requests:

• It has been a little while since I’ve been able to update! We’ve been on the road for a month now and sometimes it’s difficult to get internet (or time!) but we appreciate all your prayers, God has been speaking to us and refreshing us in this time of travel.

• Pray for the leadership of each of the churches. As our church is multiplying, new people are being raised up by His to take on leadership roles. Pray God would have His way in each of them and would mold His church to be conformed to His image. Pray for the leadership direction of the church, there are new opportunities for expansion opening up and my husband has been transitioning over the last year to a full time pastoral role. Pray God would direct us and the main pastor, Raul!

• For families in the church, we have had many couples coming to us because of issues in their marriage. Pray God would heal and protect those that are suffering right now. Pray specifically for Saul and Ale, Irving and Johanna, Paola and Salvador, Mauricio and Marta, Jorge and Brenda.

• Please keep praying for Katy, Isabel and Samuel. We are still trying to raise enough funds for her neurosurgery but some other complications have arisen with her lungs. She is recovering from pneumonia currently which damaged her lungs. Please keep praying for her health!

• This next Sunday August 6th we are celebrating 14 years of Semilla de Mostaza Santa Monica! We are so thankful for the Lord’s faithfulness and just all you pray for us to continue doing His work in our community.

• Our VBS is this upcoming 9-11 of August. Our teenage camp will be the following week. Pray for each of these young hearts as they hear God’s word! 

• Please keep praying for my mom, that she would know the Lord more and have a hunger for Him. She is having some problems, pray she would see God and surrender to Him fully. 

• Keep praying for the salvation of my brothers and sisters. Their names are Veronica, Max, Violet, Charles, Samantha and Elisa. That God would open their eyes to their need for a savior, and He would keep healing them.

• We are still traveling for another 2 weeks approximately, pray God would continue to protect us and give us opportunities to show His love to my family as we visit!
