It´s hard to believe we are already at Monday, the time is really going fast. Well, here is an update from the last entry. Friday and Saturday we spent the whole day helping out at the Vivanco´s unpacking, hanging shelves, and doing whatever we could to help get them settled into their new home. We also met a Missionary couple from Chicago that have only been here for five months and we were able to spend Saturday evening at their home for dinner and then they brought our family out for a treat of ice cream afterwards. Sunday we went to Church and saw many friends from years past and enjoyed the praise and worship, it was great to be back at our Mexican home church ( this is the only church we have been to in Mex., so this is why we say our Mexican home church.) The kids were very excited to meet everyone but I think they were a bit overwhelmed by all the hugging and kissing going on. Sunday after church we had a meal with our host family and their kids, and their kids kids, and extended family and so on. People kept coming and going all afternoon. We went to church again on Sun. night and had another great service. After the service, we were invited to a birthday party for one of the youth ( David ) and had a great time in laughter and fellowship. Sunday was a full day for everyone and we were all tired by the time we got home and went to bed. Steve has been trying some new foods that he has never heard of before (they have been a culinary taste sensation), two different types of fruit, Guayaba, and Mamey (mi gusta) and also a main dish called Pata De Res y Tostadas (tostadas with pickled cows foot) the taste was great, the texture was interesting. Monday was spent back at church and VBS. We helped as best we could with our limited vocabulary in Spanish. Austin and Dani have been troopers so far and we have only had a couple of close calls as far as meltdowns (Praise God), they have even been eating most of the food (not the Pata De Res). Anyway, I know that´s alot of info, but we don´t have access to the internet like we do back home.

Steve, what an awsome experience for you and your family. I am so proud of you all. I just seen your picture and read your letter that you sent mom (your Aunt Kay in Ks.) God is truly working not only in your lives but through you also. How great is that!!! How great is our God!!! I can't wait to reconnect with you and hear what all God has done in your lives and to share with you what He has done in our lives. May God bless you and your family as you minister to others. Gen. 1:31 "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good."
