November Prayer Letter

Last month we took a trip back to the midwest. We had a lot of fun spending time with family and friends. We also had the opportunity to visit a couple of churches, a Bible college, as well as a couple of pastors, to share our ministry. Our goals for this trip were to recruit some teams to come to Rosarito next year, as well as to grow our financial support. God is good! It looks like there are at least two teams interested in coming next year, as well as several individuals/families for our “Individual’s Week” build in June. This build is set for the week of June 26th. If you are interested in coming alone, or with a friend or family member, for this home build, please contact us for more information. Going into this trip our financial support was right at about 55%. Between new and existing acquaintances, as well as friends and family, we believe God is going to do amazing things in order to grow our financial support. We moved to Mexico in May and officially began our ministry. Our feeling is that He did not put us here to begin something and then leave a year later. We are confident that He will be faithful to supply all of our needs.

God has already taken care of all the funds for this trip. Through the sale of our dining room table, as well as a couple of other things, we had about 85% of the money needed before we left. We did not feel that we should deplete funds from our account, as we are counting on that to make up the difference needed every month. Then, while we were in Wisconsin, our trailer sold as well and that paid for the rest of our trip.



For those of you that do not receive our blog updates, we would like to share a few pictures. In August, we were blessed by the college/young adult team that came down from our sending church, Faith Community. Besides being from our sending church, this is also the class that we co-led for four years before leaving for Mexico. They built a home for the Duran family, a family of six (soon to be seven). Our second house build for the 2010 season came and went without a hitch. And so quickly, too!! That is because the house was built and mostly completed in two days (thanks to nail guns and a lot of pre-preparation). Our family, along with the family receiving the home, were able to finish up the house the next day by painting and trimming the interior. It was an awesome experience, and we were blessed to get to know the family that received the home.


If you haven’t heard much about either of these builds or what has been going on here in Mexico, please sign up to receive our email updates. We apologize for not getting a letter out to update everyone last month. However, we do update our blog at least twice a month, and with a lot more pictures, as well as videos. Just go to www.rstruska.blogspot.com and click at the link at the top of the page to subscribe.

Please pray for us as we will be meeting with a pastor in Ensenada soon about Spanish Immersion. We would really like to make this a priority for our whole family before our ministry keeps us more busy than we already are.
