Prayer letter for the Cox’s
in Mexico City, Mexico
October 26, 2011
Dear praying friends,
We appreciate your prayers and financial support. Life continues to fly by us so fast. Kelsie is in the 11th grade this year, and we are trying to get her caught up, so that next year she can attendOrlandoBibleChurchHigh School. The good people there at our home church are putting her up her last year of High School, and after that, we really don’t know what she will do. She wants to continue and study pharmacy, but that is a difficult road, and there are a lot of decisions as far as where (Mexico/US, or where in theUS), and whether any school would accept her coming from home schooling and a Christian high school. As I understand it most are flooded with applications. We will have to wait and see, pray a lot, and just try to get her in wherever. Expenses are also a problem as we are barely making it as far as our living expenses, and we have no money saved up any more.
Our church continues doing well. We have had a family leave recently and that discouraged many. None-the-less, we have had counseling with several after each church service it seems, many new people. We had two baptisms last month. We continue to have new people come both from our weekly door to door work, and also from our members inviting family and friends. We grow a little, and then some don’t come all that much, and others seem to take their place, and when everybody comes we don’t have room for everybody. I am going to take the youth group for a couple of months (teen Sunday School) while our men rotate teaching through Hebrews. They are doing a good job, and some are loving the opportunity to speak, and others are not so excited, because it is a lot of work, and getting up before others to speak is part of the problem. Pray for them.
We have found another house about 2 doors down from our present house, and we should be completely moved in there by the end of the year. It is the same rent as where we are now, but the house is slightly more austere than here. The people seem nice. There is an apartment behind the house, and the elderly lady and her daughter and grandkids will live with her there, and we will share the drive-way (hopefully that’s all).
We continue to get old and tired it seems. We try not to lighten up on our labors, but be faithful to our Lord in labor as in doctrine. God continues to bless, and our book website has over 1200 free books for download (about250 inthe Spanish one). I have about 210 Spanish tracts now. I continue to get a lot of counseling emails from people around the world also (both English and Spanish). I am working on translating my literature into English. Please pray for us. We NEED your prayers!
