Dear Wallenstein family,

We keep seeing pictures of the snow you are having and wouldn’t mind having some to cool off a bit. It’s been SO hot and rainy here in Guayaquil! However, we are thankful for the rain and the beauty it brings the city in the form of lush plant life.

Thank you for your continued prayers for our city and ministry. Covid numbers appear to be rising and we are hearing of more and more cases in our community. Recently the couple at our church who lead the children’s ministry tested positive for the virus, but thankfully their symptoms are minor.

So far, we are still allowed to have church and youth group. We’ve been having youth group every other week . Since it has been announced that there will be camp, a few more youth have been coming out in hopes of getting to go. It has been so good to see our youth and enjoy each other’s company and have some light-hearted games and laughter. We’ve been doing a series on different aspects of salvation, and feel we have seen some light bulbs turn on the youth’s understanding of this most important subject.

And camp! We are excited that there will be camp this year and so are our youth. Each session will only be 3 days and will have half the number of campers and staff. But still, it means our youth will have 3 days in a place where they are surrounded by love, in a healthy atmosphere and most importantly learning about the love of Christ. Pray with us these seeds fall on soil that is ready to accept them!

Love in Christ,

Jessenia, Raul and Tiago
