We're back!

Thank you to so many who were praying as we said our goodbyes and travelled back to Mexico. Once again we felt sustained by your prayers. The goodbyes were difficult of course. I think they get more difficult. It is not just hard to say goodbye but it is ten times harder to take our kids away from their grandparents. They have played such a vital role in their lives over the past few months and we know the love between them is mutual. Blissfully unaware of what was going on Tabitha remained chirpy throughout.

The first flight was tough. I wasn't feeling well so after the first couple of hours Andrew had both kids to look after. Both were quite unsettled but thankfully I was feeling much better about an hour before we landed and was able to help for the rest of the journey. The connection went smoothly and the kids slept for most of the second flight. Both slept quite well the first night as well. Margaret, who has always been so wonderfully helpful and picked us up from the airport, stayed overnight.

We've been settling in, unpacking and some of our friends have come to visit. This week we look forward to catching up with people and finding out what has been going on in our absence. On Wednesday the 3 days of meetings with all the churches and representatives begin. Andrew will attend. Please pray for unity and vision as decisions are made for the future.

A work team from the US arrives on Saturday to help with the construction at the Drop-In Centre. The work has not proceeded as fast as we had hoped for and so the opening will be delayed for a few weeks. The team's visit coincides with the Holiday Bible Club (VBS) at our church in La Loma so we really are diving into the thick of it!

We appreciate your prayers as we settle back into our routine here and make decisions about what we can and cannot take on. Our time at home was indescribably refreshing and wonderful. We're ready to get going and we're excited to see how God will bring glory to His name as you pray with us...
