The past February the 17th, our church in El Rincón de la Victoria became one year old. As we look back, we rejoice greatly in so many things our God has done for us. We can only say: "For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen" (Romans 11:36).

As many of you already know, something very important happened in our lives. The Lord has blessed us answering our prayers and, if He wills, this summer we will have our first baby! Eunice is doing well and the doctor already told us he's a boy. We're so excited! It's too hard to express our joy for this wonderful gift.

Last month we had the priviledge of having our pastors form CC Upland, Pr. Randy and Pr. Justin, as well as our cousins from California. We could talk, pray, laugh and enjoy one and other as we spent time together. The Lord really used them to encourage us and the rest of the church. The first weekend they were here, we had the parenting conference we asked you to pray for in our last update. Pr. Pepe and Alicia, Eunice's parents, led the teachings and all the attendants were very blessed. We saw a huge interest and a true desire of seeking the Word in this matter.

The next day we had our Sunday morning service at Hotel Elimar. Pr. Randy shared the Word with the church. It was a very special time where we felt the Lord moving among us in many ways. This Sunday a new family was added to our church. Maria Luisa and her daughter Lola are sisters in the Lord who decided to start attending our church which makes us very happy.

This whole weekend Eric Flores came to visit us from Mallorca. It's always great to be with him and enjoy his friendship. We are all praying for him that the Lord might bring Eric to serve Him along side us in His timing.

The church is doing very well. We have started studing Matthew chapter 24 and the Lord is truly blessing and growing all of us as we study His Word. Mateo has now a new friend at Sunday School, Lola. They are studing the Old Testament and learning about God's goodness.

Thank you all one more time for your prayers and support. God bless you!
