Missionary Report January 2008

Dear fellow laborers in the Lord Jesus Christ,

This month passed by so quickly but we are thankful that a lot of progress was made in all the different activities we have. We have identified a couple areas in Victoria that we feel guided to start visiting and sharing the message of the gospel. Pray with us that the Lord may prepare the hearts and the families we will work with. Also, please keep us in your prayers as we finalized our residence change to the City of Victoria.

Following, I would like to provide an update, and ask for your continual prayers in the needs we have been sharing with you:

Housing

We are now the official owners of a house in the city of Victoria, Tamaulipas. We also got access to the house by the first time. We did identify several needed improvements in the house but we will start moving some of our personal belongings to the house shortly. We are very thankful with the Lord that this event happened in a successful and timely manner. Once again, thank you very much for your prayers in this subject.

Vehicle for the Ministry

We confirmed that the vehicle funds are now available in our working account. I did go to the Toyota dealer in Brownsville, TX but they did not have a vehicle with the same characteristics and options like the one that was quoted. They told me it was going to take a week or so to get another one. They also communicated to me that the vehicle was quoted incorrectly; they thought it was going to be registered in Texas before being imported into Mexico. The price difference is $2000 dollars. I continue working with the dealer and checking some other options with other dealers (including Mexican dealers). I received information from a Toyota Mexican dealer representative, that the Toyota Tundra will be available for sale in Mexico by the first week of March. They do not know the cost yet, but might be worth it to wait 2-3 more weeks to have that information. I personally do not like the fact of wasting some money paying importation taxes on the vehicle. I want to be as wise as possible using the money. Please pray the Lord to give me wisdom on this. I will communicate later on this subject through bro. Monte.

Kids School

As of today, the kids keep attending school regularly. We have not made a decision on weather they will complete this scholar year or not. Please keep praying for our kids, and ask the Lord to give us grace and wisdom.

 Thank you for your prayers for my family and the work down here.  

 Your servant in Christ,

 Enrique Cantu
