Cause you asked for pictures of Shasta!

Profile shot

What she looks like with her ears up, sleeping in my lap

Action shot! She's grown a lot this week, and her tummy has deflated, but she still loves to play with the rope.

Happy Sunday!

We are excited about going to church this morning! Ryan and Pastor Ismael went out and bought a small pool the other day to baptize two new converts in! What a blessing! (Sorry! about the! overuse of exclamation points! We're just too excited!)

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Dad!

I love you, and I'm so thankful for you and your testimony. Thank you for introducing me to Jesus, thank you for staying faithful, and for showing me at a tender age that He is faithful! Have fun today!

We Are Here!!!

Please pardon my overuse of exclamation points, but I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT EXCITED about the fact that we are here, and making our home in Tizayuca, Hidalgo. Our colonia is a clean, friendly neighborhood, and the kids are enjoying making friends with our next door neighbors.

We spent most of our time getting furniture, unpacking, and getting to know Bro. Ismael and his wife, Paty. I'll put some pictures up later if I can!

Oh, and today we got internet, obviously, but I'm pretty excited about that little development as well!

Update on us!

We made it to the hotel, right on the border of Mexico. Please be in prayer for us tonight and tomorrow as we are planning to cross the border and head down to Obragon in the morning. I'll give updates as often as I can!

News

This is the day we pack everything into the van! (Hopefully it can get done today-it might take some of tomorrow as well.) I am praying hard that there will be no more delays. Lord willing, Friday we head down to Santa Maria, and Monday take off for Arizona, then cross the border and down to Hidalgo!

I'm so thankful for God's provision and guidance!

The girls are climbing the walls, and other fun activities

These aren't my highest quality pictures, but they show what my kids do on rainy days...

Praying for revival!

Today will go down in history as a day where we all have full heath care, Our country will be more efficient, and we will lead the world in our stead. -Adolf Hitler

I'm not making comparisons, I'm just posting a quote. You make the comparisons.

Whoops-it's next Friday!

Something came up that will delay us another week. Then we are off!

Thank you for your prayers!

It's getting closer!

The plan is to head out to Santa Maria on Friday, spend the weekend there and then go on to Arizona on Monday, take a day to prepare for the journey, and then head down to Hidalgo. Pray for us as we travel! We are in God's capable hands, and He's always cared for us like the loving and powerful Father He is.
