Praising the Lord for little Esther!
Last month, Jeni and I were able to spend some quality time with our children in Grand Rapids, MI. We were overjoyed to just “do life” with them: seeing Isaiah get his driver’s license, worshipping with them in their churches, and cheering on Josh in his volleyball matches. Our deepest joy was to welcome our first granddaughter into our family when Esther Harumi Sato was born on April 3rd. Then with deep joy I was blessed to baptize her before returning to Uruguay.

Our Building Gets a Facelift
While we were away, the Paysons led our congregation in making major improvements to our church building. They repaired the deteriorating
ledge above the entrance. The outside walls received a fresh coat of paint that did away with the ugly graffiti. And a new, more legible sign for “Salvos Por Gracia” was finished and installed above the doorway.
