*Pachuca*
Alfredo López and Jareni Munoz
We ask for prayers for our siblings Dayam and Dayrena, who—soon, and if it is God's will—will become parents to twin boys. We pray for their health and that this process concludes successfully. Dayam and Dayrena are part of the missionary team.
We also ask for prayers for the congregation, that God may help us continue to grow—not only in number but also spiritually.

Dayam Ramos and Dayrena Diaz
Please pray for Dayrena, who is pregnant and about to give birth, that she may have a safe and successful delivery.
For our family in Cuba and the situation currently unfolding in the country.
For the missionary team and the congregation in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico.

Gerson Rodas
May the character of God be formed within us, so that we may transmit light and hope.
May God raise up more men willing to labor in the mission.

*Querétaro*
Alejandro López and Darling García
For our family's transition, as we will be living in a new country.
For the new mission in Querétaro, Mexico.
For our mission companions and their families.

Improved health.
Spiritual strength.
Wisdom to evangelize.

Yudel Pena and Lucero Castillo
For the new mission in Querétaro: may God touch hearts so that His message may be accepted.
