MI CASA ES SU CASA

Gerson and Lloyd

Gerson came to Nuevo Progreso to pick up his school records that are needed for his university classes next year. In Mexico, it’s better to make the trip to get the papers than to have them mailed across country.  From one Wednesday to the next, Gerson stayed in the parsonage, and he helped us with many projects while he was here.

Lloyd and Gerson work together on a sign that says "Mi Casa Es Su Casa."

Gerson and Lloyd hung some wooden signs inside the church. One sign says, “Mi casa es su casa,” my house is your house.  Another over the parsonage door says, “Casa de pastor,” house of the pastor.  Gerson didn’t need a ladder to hang the signs over the door since he is 6' 3" tall!

Gerson is studying computer technology and graphic design in the university in Nayarit. He said when he finishes classes, he will be qualified to work anywhere in the world in his field. His commitment and dedication to his education is commendable. More than that, is his commitment to the Lord.

It was hard to say goodbye to Gerson when he left us to go to the airport in Reynosa. He’s a quiet young man, very serious and yet always ready to smile. Any time Lloyd or I started to pick something up or move something, Gerson was quick to jump up to help.  It was good to have someone there at the church and he’ll be greatly missed.

Before leaving, Gerson said he wants to come back to Nuevo Progreso next Spring during his vacation. It seemed like he enjoyed his stay in the parsonage. And Pelon, the church dog, enjoyed being with him too!
