...........................................................Blessings on the way out...to see whats behind the next door!

Well everyone I'm slightly behind on posting, I know!! Its WAY over due!

We've had lots of opportunity to bless the communities around us... here Israel is helping our base group build benches for a local church about an hour away in a city called Martinez. The kids love to help out with these projects!

After building the benches the people of the church prepared lunch for us, we had banana leaf tamales. They we're pretty yummy and a tad bit spicy but our girls ate them up too!



Moriah had a great little birthday, April 15th she turned 2 years old! I made two chocolate cakes to see that everyone got their fill!!



You will see two new children in this picture that have been added to the children's home. Nadin is 5 and his brother Fransisco is 10 years old. Fran is in the orange shirt and Nadin is here with Israel in this picture. Chicken Mole - prepared by Anna and Irene.


Later in the evening we celebrated our departure with a special Mexican meal called Chicken Mole!! It was also a wonderful time of getting everyone together. We ate, we cleaned the kitchen, then we sat and visited...the guys, I think, played soccer outside way into the dark evening hours and had a great time together...we left the next morning and headed home...

We've had a wonderful time at the children's home there in Veracruz, and we've fulfilled all that we set out to accomplish there...we will pop in and visit the kids and families from time to time.

....and now its time to look into what God has for us next...our hearts are set on the unreached people back in the mountains of Veracruz and Hidalgo, Mexico.

We're home in Lubbock, Texas now and preparing for our next trip!~
Getting all sorts of things together, we are currently working on a newsletter, doing maintenance on our traveling automobile, the Suburban, and taking care of business.

Thank you so much for all your prayers and your support! With your help, we'll be winning souls for Christ and doing the 'works' that He has created us for in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:10
Let us all run with endurance the race set before each of us...

Please remain in prayer for us in this time for we are surely having our faith stretched to believe God for the provision for the journey ahead!

May God bless you in all that you do on your journey this summer....
