Hi




Hi Everybody,






Hope you're all well.






I'm doing great. Here is the weekly schedule. Please mind there are a million other things that aren't on the list.

Monday: is the only day that we don't leave te ranch for a biblestudy. We spend it cleaning, doing laundry, grocery shopping, that kind of stuff. There is always, always, cleaning to do here.


Tuesday: In the morning there is a ladies biblestudy in Osobompo at 10. Osobompo is a town about 10 minutes away. It is also where the main church building is. Then monday evening we head to Tesia. Tesia is a town outside of Navojoa. Quite a large town. Tesia is the largest midweek study. Along the way we pick up many, many people in the bible bus who join us for the study. After the study we head over to a taco stand owned by one of the believers. I think that may be one of my favorite parts!! This week I was blessed with the opportunity to translate the biblestudy into english for the group from CA. The study was from Acts,when Paul was shipwrecked. A wonderful study.

Wednesday: In the morning there is a ladies biblestudy in Mocuzari. Mocuzari is a little fishing village down the road from Osobompo. Mocuzari is a very dark place. The Christians there are under much persecution. Then Wednesday afternoon we make the 1 hour and 30 minute drive(atleast) to San Antonio. It's a long drive, about half of it is on a dirt road.

Thursday morning we have a ladies biblestudy in English here on the ranch. It is a sweet time of fellowship for those of us white people to come together and worship. Thursday evening we return to Mocuzari once again. This time for a biblestudy for everyone. This thursday night (last night) the mission group from CA did a mini VBS with the kids. They probably had around 50 kids. It was really sweet. Hopefully the children will go home and share what they've learned with their parents.

Friday morning there is no biblestudy believe it or not. In the afternoon we head to Las Minitas, which is about an hour away. Las Minitas is one of my favorite places, they people there are so sweet.

Saturday we do not have any off premise biblestudies. Everyone on the ranch comes together for lunch and then the weekly meeting. We talk about problems, concerns, praises, anything that happened during the week.


Sunday morning we leave at 7 am in the bible bus and drive into Navojoa. We stop and pick up many people along the way to the study. We're usually home by 11:30. Then we rest until we have to leave for the evening study, in Osobompo, at 4:30.


Every morning at 7am we also have devotions here in the Jones' house. It has been such a blessing to me to start the day out with worship and prayer.


The current residents of the ranch are:

Dan and Ana Jones. Lolita and Marilu, and myself are also here in the "Casa Grande" with them.

The Jones' daughter, Roshon, also lives here with her two beautiful children, Aaileya and Obed.

Jo and Jerry Farabough live right next door in their 5th wheel several months out of the year.

Ana's mother, father, and aunt also live on the ranch.

The Coopers live down front by the road. They're a wonderful couple from S. Carolina.

Malena, her son, Irwing, and her husband Josefren live in my old house. Josefren works in the mine and Malena helps Ana with pretty much everything.

Rojelio (Ana's nephew) and his wife, Carla, live down by the road. They are a huge help here on the ranch. Rojelio is Dan's right hand man. Carla teaches studies and contributes as well. Let's see......... I hope I didn't foget anyone....
Ps. the guy on the cabinet is Rojelio!
Love ya'll!
