Dear Praying Friends,
Well a lot has happened since our last letter in May. One of the ladies in the church passed away on June 6th.... Catalina Cañete, 63 years old. She came out to all the Sunday Night meetings with her daughter, Noelia. Colby spoke at the graveside. Noelia and her dad come out on Sunday nights, now. Please pray for the family. Also, the month of June saw us down with colds and flues. (That is why I did not send a letter out in JUNE) Ben was first, than Jony, than Colby and last Lesa. Sam is the only one who is doing fine, so far. All the public schools,the Bible Institute, Ben and Sam's Music schools are closed, starting Monday morning, because of the Swine flu. Pray for us that the Lord would protect us.
And you probably noticed we did not mention Natalie?
Well, she left the 17th of June for Philadelphia. She is with her uncles for a few months helping in the office. Lord will, she is heading up to New Brunswick in August to visit my mom for a few weeks and than heading off in September to New Brunswick Bible Institute to begin her first year of studies! So we miss her A LOT but also know that she is doing HIS will and is in HIS hands....no better place to be! (These pictures above were taken the day she left!!! ) :-(
Lesa had her Ladies meeting today. Only 5 came out. A lot are sick. Our next meeting is the first Thursday in August. Pray that we would GROW and use our gifts for HIS GLORY.
Continue to pray for Benjamin and Samuel's friends that are coming out to Youth Group. Omar has brought his two brothers out and also another boy, Allan, is coming out. Pray for their salvation.(David, Omar, Fabian, Leo, Jony,and Allan)
Colby is going to start a Bible study with a young man, DIEGO. He has been coming out for the last month or so. He claims to know the Lord. He comes out to Prayer Meeting, Sunday night and tonight he went to Colby's last Institute class (because next week everything is closed down for a month!) Pray for his growth. His girlfriend's name is MELINA. She comes out on Sunday night...not sure of her salvation?
Continue to pray for the salvation of ALEJANDRA, NOELIA , and NOELIA and her Dad CARLOS and her little brother CARLITOS . Carlos and Carlitos started coming out to Sunday School last month and enjoy it. We have not started the Bible study with Alejandra...still waiting for her to give us a day.
With all the changes we went through this month we felt the Lord´s had helping us through it all. We do what to thank you all for your prayers.....Prayers moves the Hand that holds the world!! Thanks you for giving, praying and writing.
Yours In Christ, COLBY, LESA, NATY, BEN, SAM and JONY
THE HOLMES in Argentina.

Hi Lesa. This is the first time I have been to your website. I found it very informative, moving and full of love. You are all in my prayers.
