News

We have finally moved into a house, except it is on the U.S side of the border.  We had been looking and looking in Mexico and the selection was incredibly bad.  Houses with the washing machine in the front yard of a busy street, urine soaked carpet, mold covering the ceilings.  Stairways without railings, concrete yards, and landlords adding hundreds on the rent because we are Americans. 

My husband came to the conclusion that if he were going to be able to complete his project, a house where families can come and experience missions, he needed to get his family settled somewhere safe.  Although I feel bad to be less able to help the people of Rosarito personally, I am thankful to be in a clean little house, on a paved road, with water that I can wash my vegetables in.  I am also thankful for the opportunity to get my children around homeschoolers again.   We missed all the fellowship with other homeschool families that we had enjoyed while living in the States.  So, for better or worse, we are in a suburb, missing the country, but really happy to have running water, flushing toilets and a full sized refrigerator.

It is so easy for us to forget how truly blessed we are. Thanks for reminding me to be thankful for my refrigerator, paved road and safe neighborhood! God bless you!

It's the little things like running water that can really lift your spirits! ;-)

Glad y'all are settled and have a safe, clean place to minister from. No matter where you are, God will use a willing vessel!

Love,
Marsha

I'm glad you've found a place to call home. It's amazing the things we take for granted, like running water, etc. Do you have a post that talks about exactly what your husband is doing in Mexico? I'd love to read it. I hope you'll find some like-minded friends soon!
