Refresh

We tried to book tickets back to Mexico for last Tuesday. We found out that there were no tickets for the route we normally take until June 1st! The best we could do was book a flight to Newark on the 25th and travel on to Mexico the following day with an extra stop in Houston. It seems crazy but I guess God knows why we need to be here that extra time.

On the positive side I have now enjoyed 3 nausea free days! It has been delightful. We're still not sure what is going on but that's ok.

With our time here being longer than we expected and now that things are returning to normal in Mexico we have agreed to take some holiday time. The people who have been covering the mortgage costs in our little house are moving out and so this week will be spent arranging it for a potential sale in a few months. We are also looking forward to meeting up with a few friends and enjoying the extra help with the kids etc.

These last few weeks have been refreshing and just what we needed at this time. God knew!

We've been keeping in touch with our friends in Mexico. It seems there is still an element of fear around. Church programs are starting up again and we would appreciate your prayers that people would quickly return to those. Pray for the MOPS team at La Loma as they contact the girls who have been attending and restart either this Thursday or next. Pray too for the MEFI team as they invite the kids back to La Raza. Pray that they will quickly get back to the level of trust they had built towards with the kids. There have been a few relational issues that will need to be addressed when we get back and we would apreciate prayers for continued unity on the team.
