I've set up group classes every Saturday afternoon so we are always working at playing together and can discuss ideas for new presentations. Thankfully more students showed up this time for the monthly presentation. Luis, the dad of one of my younger students is very proud of how is son Jonathan's technique is improving. His sound is much stronger. I'm still making arrangements of our church songs. Joaquín is practicing them up and should be playing several of them with the band soon. I can't wait for the day our church has its fully-developed string section ministering in every service, because I believe that musical creativity is one of the most important ways to reach the lost. Pray that God develops our faith and opens our eyes to His amazing plan for us. Also continue to pray that our neighbor living above us will no longer get in the way of our ministry of praise and worship to God.

P.S. I'm getting ready to visit Canada for my brother's wedding on Nov. 9. I haven't been there in over 10 years. I'm sure it'll be nice to see my family up there again.
