Dear friends,

It´s been about a month since we´ve started activities on campus again, right now I (Luis) am serving at 3 colleges.

We are still working at BUAP (the campus we were at last year) working with Campus Crusade, but I am also serving with Athletes in Action (AIA) at the Monterrey Tech (TEC) and the University of the Americas Puebla (UDLAP).  God has opened the door  to work with the men's and women's basketball team at TEC, and I have been working with the men's basketball team.

UDLAP

 The AIA team has been working with the baseball team at UDLAP since last year, but for an unknown reason, this year the university is not allowing people outside of the university to volunteer in any way which could mean that we wouldn´t be able to continue to help out on campus, please pray that God would maintain the doors open to serve at UDLAP.

TEC

With the men´s basketball team at TEC we have started a series of talks with the team to help them both on and off of the court.  So far we´ve given talks about being adaptable, teamwork, and commitment.  So far the team seems open and  interested in growing in these areas.

BUAP

This semester at BUAP we are also offering an English Club in addition to our weekly talks on campus.  We try to focus on giving the students more opportunity to practice speaking and pronunciation with native speakers.  Our goal is to be able to meet more students as well as serve them.  Each week Elizabeth and  our friend, Jon, lead the club.  New students have been getting involved and some are showing interest in joining us for our weekly meetings and even going to church.

Something that is kind of funny to share with you is that as we talk to students in the English Club many think it is strange that a married couple and another American are on campus without any apparent reason.  In addition the English Club is free, and Liz goes to campus even though she is pregnant.  Thankfully we have had many opportunities to share with them why we do what we do, and why we desire for College students to know God.

Thank you very much for your partnership in prayer and financial support.
