What do I need to do?

This past week we have had some good news. As I have been meeting Alonzo over the past few months going through the basics of Christianity. It has been a really good time of seeing him growing in his faith. Over the past month he and his girl friend have had their difficulties. Kenny ended up having to move out of her apartment making it stressful for them. So last week, I helped them move out her stuff to a new apartment. Because she is a University student she can live at a place for students. There are many places for rent for students here because of the branch of Guadalajara university is here.  This particular place has a few rules, one is no visitors. This will be a challenge for them but as they want to follow what God wants them to do with their lives, it is a valuable rule to have for them during this time in their relationship. Anyways while moving her things, we ended up taking a bed to Alonzo's mom's house. There I was able to meet his mom, brother and sister-in-law and a few cousins.  We didn't stay for very long as we were still moving Kenny. That was on Wednesday. On Thursday evening, we had our men's bible study at La Roca. Alonzo then told me that Wednesday night his brother asked him what does he need to do to be a Christian. Then Alonzo then talked with him for two hours. His brother even agreed to come to church on Sunday. I don't want to be negative about inviting people to church but often when you invite someone, they will tell you yes but never show up. Everyone has good intentions. So for Alonzo to say this, in the back of my mind, I thought we will have to see on Sunday. So Sunday comes and there is Alonzo and Fransisco (Paco for short). He was actually at church. To get someone to this point is a huge step. I preached on being clothed with Christ and how our identity is in Christ. Paco had to go right away after church, but proceeded to say that he would see me next Sunday and he would even try to come to the men's bible study. Wow. What is God doing? I asked Alonzo what his brother thought about being in a "Christian" church. He said that his brother felt very relaxed. Alonzo then said that it was the same way that he felt when he first started coming to church. I want to give God the glory for this. He is working in both of these men's hearts. My prayer is that God would be glorified in their lives. I am encouraged and looked forward to talking with Paco tonight at the men's study. This is the reason we are here. To
