An Update

So it really has been forever since I have posted anything on this blog and for that I must apologize. The last couple months have been very interesting and rather challenging. There have been lots of changes going on at the Mission. But things are going well.

I am still working with the disabled children in the Day Home. It is such a blessing. The kids are so great and so fun to be around. We do have a prayer request regarding the Day Home. We lost four staff members in two weeks. The month of April was hard for us. This loss in staff has forced us to reduce the number of children we are able to care for because we lack the personnel. So please pray that the Lord would bring us more staff so that we might have all our children back with us.

I am now teaching three little ones. I think I posted their pictures in a previous blog. Their names are Cristian, Lupita and Miguel. They are great kids. They definitely keep me on my toes.

Ricardo and I have been busy at home. We had lots of visitors in March and April. Nearly three weeks of continual visits. First from Carol and the girls, then two friends were living with us for a week and then my parents and grandparents came to visit for Easter. So we have been busy. Since then we have continued work on the fence/wall going up around our house and we are happy to say it is nearly finished. We hired some men from town to work on it. We are so thankful it is nearly done.

Now I am sure all of you have seen the bad press Mexico is getting in the news. It's the drug cartels, the Swine Flu, and an earthquake yesterday in Mexico City. We are living in very interesting times. Here the schools have been closed for two weeks. The Day Home department is also closed as a precautionary measure as well. So things here are interesting. But the Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, so we are trusting that He will protect us.

I'll try to post the happenings more often. We would love to hear from you and hope you are doing well.
