So, since the last time we chatted...

A birthday for Jairo,

Supper with the Woodfords,

First Sunday in Hermosillo,

Said goodbye to Danielle,

Breakfast with the "Graduation Honeymooners" (another Sam quote)

A quickie...

Checkin' in once again.

Last night we headed off to a family's house for tamales. They're definitely not my favourite... but man do I ever love frijoles!

Two lovely ladies and Mexican resourcefulness ;)

Children's meeting in Tirocapes headed up by the young people in Hermosillo.


Oh and I've just been updated:

Feelin' like a real missionary now ;)

Hola mis amigos!

Well, I'm here :)

So much to say but it's hard to know where to begin. In a nutshell: Without fail a crazy connection in Detroit and without fail an angel watched over my luggage. Divine appointment on flight to Phoenix. 40+ degree weather. Finally met the wonderful Hart's. Drive to Nogales. First experience with the IHOP (yum). Drive to Hermosillo with Evelyn and Marcus with James' saw at the border (delay). Visit to a little girl who mangled her fingers :( Off to gospel outreach work on other side of town. Hotdogs with young people. Spanish is coming back (keep praying for me). One carrot cake. Two banana cakes. Ton of cream cheese frosting. Even more homeschooling and of course a whole lot more that I can't think of right at this moment ;)

You know you're back in Mexico when... That's the bestest hotdog ever... ever. (bacon and tortilla-wrapped, cheese-stuffed, and a million toppings). I think you should also know that i did have a bite of that pepper (surprising I know)

Cuties.
