My Little Pony at 50!

Yesterday was another blessed day here at the work in Magdalena.  All of our people were faithful and came with a great spirit ready to receive what God had prepared for them.  We have also seen a "new" family of four in services for the third week in a row.  It was also a blessing to have a first time visitor walk in "uninvited".  We have actually visited her house a few months ago but she came for other reasons. 
 
Yesterday was also my fiftieth birthday!  Our people made their own plans for the evening to celebrate their pastor's birthday.  They prepared a meal and even had a piñata.  I hear that the family in charge of buying the piñata was looking for a car as they know how I like cars but settle for my second love of all things farm and ranch and brought a horse.  Turns out it was not a horse at all, it was a pony.  A My Little Pony!
 
God has truly blessed our work here with some tremendous people.  I am blessed.
