Cousins
Well certainly a few days ago we didn't think we would soon be posting photos like these on the blog. You can tell the kids are happy with the result of their long day in planes and airports. The journey was fine. There were a few long queues to frustrate the kids but they did well. Both were overly friendly to all in the airport and won over many hearts. Tabitha was telling everyone she was going to see her grandparents and cousins. She always comes alive when she has the opportunity to talk and be understood in English. Oscar has started to say a very loud and enthusiastic 'Hiii-eeee' with a big smile to anyone he meets so he melted hearts around him too!
Thanks to so many for communicating your support of our decision. It was not an easy one to make so your notes and calls have meant a lot to us. Alex and Paty will be living in our house while we are away. When we phoned our pastor's wife she told us they were not leaving the house for anything except to buy food. They will be calling around the church members to encourage them. The MEFI team will have at least one week off work and MOPS and breakfast clubs have been cancelled for this week as well. All our neighbours that we are close to on our street have left the City to visit relatives or go to their second homes.
Please continue to pray for our friends we have left in Mexico. Pray particularly for our friends the MacKinnons who are saying final goodbyes to Mexico and friends as they return to the US for good. It is incredibly difficult under the circumstances for them. Pray for rest for our Mexican colleagues and of course for protection for their health. We will be keeping in touch and will continue to update our blog as appropriate.
