Big thanks to Spring Valley and Ashley Haisma for collecting baseball gloves for the kids here in Las Glorias. Many of the kids here love baseball and they need gloves. I was able to tape the reaction of these sisters, Eimy and Alondra (9 and 7 years old) with their very first softball gloves. Eimy (pronounced like the name Amy) says "Now I have a glove and a ball!!!" I practiced softball with them the very next day

Las Glorias is primarily a fishing village, so the Coults usually get to eat fresh shrimp, fish, and calamari. The first picture is fresh shrimp and the second picture is of Hailey and Jeremias “cleaning” calamari. I also wanted to show some pictures of what the storm Odile did to the beach just a little while ago.

In terms of ministry, things are progressing. On October 25 we took the youth group to a youth conference in Guasave. There we sang, our group performed a rap that showed why we should follow God, and listened to speakers. Then they prayed over everyone. It was an effective way to get the youth excited for God and to encourage worship.
Our group has a healthy group of boys that usually come but a lot less girls. So we have been praying for the girls in Boca del Rio (a town nearby) and have been trying to get to know them a bit from playing softball. Friday we told girls to come to youth group and thankfully three did on Saturday morning! During this meeting we played foosball, played another game, had brunch, then I gave my testimony! Continued prayer to reach more girls and to see more commitment to God would be much appreciated!
