Day 1!

Another day of firsts today...first day of the outreach season!  We have two teams here this week.  One team from Texas and one team from Ohio.  The team from Ohio is made up of some of our really good friends that we were able to serve with here last summer.  Two of my former students are here!  One of them, Mo, is an intern for the summer, and the other, Christine, is leading her own team this summer.  It is amazing to be a part of encouraging the saints.

We have a new cook for the summer, Ron Struska.  Patti (who has been our cook for 7 years) is training him this week.  He is going to be awesome!  His family is coming later this week.

Adah turned exactly 2 months old yesterday.  She is cooing and gurgling and smiling a lot.  Each day is filled with the beauty of new life.  People have been asking me, "What's it like having a baby in Mexico?"  I don't really know how to answer because I don't really know what it's like to have a baby yet!  She was only about 6 weeks old when we got here!  So it just feels normal and natural to be here with her.  Thank you for all of your prayers because that is why she and we are doing so well.

We are thankful that the news is improving in regards to traveling to Mexico.  "They" are saying that it's safe to travel to Mexico...so that's an answer to prayer.  Maybe some teams will still sign up to come down in August!

Pray that MANY would come to know Christ and be encouraged in their faith this week.

Pray that the efforts of the FEW would be expanded to reach many many people.  God is so powerful!!!!! : )
