Dear Praying Friends,

Circumstances changed back and forth several times before the church in Cardenas discovered that, "Well yes, after all, you do have to move out of the house you are presently renting to meet in, and it needs to happen within a week." The new rent house that was at first promised, and then denied, became available again while I was there present. In the providence of the Lord, I was accompanied at the time by my dear Winter Texan brethren Robert and Judy Stell. With their help, we were able to pack and move all the belongings for the church's meeting room, and my mission apartment in one day. I have attached a photo of the house that they now rent to meet in. It is more conveniently located for everyone, and is a much nicer facility. The rooms that I rent for my mission apartment are also much cooler, and have a much more pleasant view than the brick wall that I used to look out on. The church is now very happy in the new facilities, and also very happy to have new visitors most months, and to see some of the new ones attending regularly.

The work among the Pa-mes has just expanded. Using census data, I have discovered another area where Pa-mes are also concentrated, that was previously unknown to me. The population of Pa-mes in this new area is double what it is in the area I have been covering, and is only a one hour drive to the south of Cardenas. Not far away are even larger concentrations of Huastec and Nahuatl Indians. I look forward with great anticipation to this expanded opportunity to "declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people"!

Please continue praying for our health--Janet, Michael, and me. Janet still stuggles with the sarcoidosis, and I with the migraines. Michael has been diagnosed with POTS Syndrome, which is not life-threatening, and should go away within a few years, and should be easily controlled with either natural and/or medicinal aids.

Grace and Peace,

Danny G. Roten
