More from Mexico

Things are looking up here in Mexico. We have still had some obstacles but things are looking up! Both step-daughters are showing improvement and genuine interest in being a part of things. Last night, our missionary preached a sermon at one of the churches and the oldest SD told me she "cried through the whole thing." She said it felt like "it was directed to her and everything she has been going through." They seemed to open up a little bit today and branched out on their own with the kids at VBS. We were hoping the two of them would be separated a bit so they would get out of their comfort zones and bond with some of the other teens. We are working with a group of teens from Ft. Worth. Great bunch of kids!

God is doing some great things already. I know He isn't finished working here. There are 5 teams doing 9 VBS sites and a Revival every night. Some of the areas are an hour drive from the city and after doing 2 VBS sites today, we are very tired but also very blessed. Thanks for your prayers! Keep 'em coming!

I have felt like that once, that "everything directed at me" feeling during a sermon, and it was a thoughtful and moving experience. I'm glad things are going well, since you said you were worried.

I am so sorry about the break in. I would have been upset! Hopefully you all make it through the week. Love you!
