Tick Tick Tick Tick

We can just hear the clock ticking down and we have so much we want to do. Eat tacos, invest more in students, (notice the order) go visit the Monarch butterfly migration, Christmas shop, help with the Engage building...

We only have 3 more Punto de Encuentro meetings left. We've really been enjoying them. The students are great, we've started doing worship and prayer times on Mondays. We're meeting for another core group meeting next Wednesday and continue to meet/hangout with/pray with/for Angela. (It's amazing how fast your heart can be tied to people in such a short amount of time.)

Angela with Engage students who help at CUCEA headed home after the meeting, Mexican style.

The time here has been great for our family and for personal rejuvination. We didn't realize how beat up we were after doing 7 years of ministry at Wright State until we got to Guadalajara. Being here has allowed the Lord to do some healing and added some Teflon for protection. This trip has been sort of like a sabbatical for us from the normal responsibilies of ministry. The change of ministry focus has been a blessing.

Paola and Liz have a fun time trying to communicate with each other. Each one knows about the equivalent of the other's language - not very much. Praise God that we'll all be speaking Spanish in heaven.
Our kids really love Adrian. Steve and Adrian have spent a ton of time together (which is code for mentoring).

Praise the Lord for His hand on you and for revitalization. You guys are awesome and I'm glad you were able to step away from the everyday per say and invest in a different way these last few months! Be blessed!-Katrina

But we won't all be speaking Spanish in Heaven... we'll all be speaking French ;-)

I feel you guys on the ticking clock thing. It's hard to believe that I'll be back in the States in less than a month. Be blessed, mes amis.

Adieu!
