Making ends meet

Since not all in the congregation have learned to give financially, we have to be creative. We put up a sign listing all the cleaning supplies that are needed.  And surprisingly, the items are eventually donated.

Eking out a living

Much of Mexico’s income is earned through tiny stands and storefronts.  Our friends do welding projects in the front area of their home to make a living.  Many think that you're fortunate when you can start your own business and have it sustain your family.

Dealing with flooding

 

When neighbors add on to their homes, they’re not as careful to clean up after them.  In one home, the plaster and cement fell into a neighbor’s patio and caused flooding throughout the house when it rained.  Pray with us for conscientious neighbors.

Beaming Mention

At the end of the anniversary service, the pastor called up all those who were celebrating birthdays this last week.  Well, Tracey’s was on the very day of the anniversary, so she was mentioned in the service.  Many came up to congratulate her and to give lots of hugs.  It was amazing!

Bet-lehem Anniversary

25 years of service in the community was celebrated in two meetings in the Bet-lehem Baptist Church.  Filled with wonderful people, great food and an inspiring service; we spent the night in the cold outside under a tarp celebrating together, God’s goodness.

Birthday Celebration

Kiana made one of Tracey’s favorite cakes for her birthday.  So we shared it during our meal time and enjoyed wishing Tracey a very Happy Birthday.  Thanks for so many who sent her best wishes on that day!

Breakfast Special

In anticipation of a busy Sunday, we took Tracey out for a special meal at a local coffee shop that has some delicious breakfasts.  I wanted to post these especially for our daughter who is studying in the States and yearns for these Mexican specialties.
