  • Enjoying my time at home

        I made it home yeah!! Thanks to Jesus my flights and everything went well. I feel like we live such rich life styles back here in the states. Its great to have carpet, soft beds, couches, hot running water, meat, cell phone, clean none-smelly bathrooms, my whole closet full of clothes back, my car, and I could go on and on..... But the best is by far to be with family and friends again!!  Don't get me wrong I had a wonderful time in Mexico and I am really glad I went! The people... the culture... the food...It was great! And God was def there with me every step of the way. Thanks everyone who prayed for me and supported me while I was down there! I really appreciated it!   .... I miss all you guys down there in Choix! .....

    This is a friend Lupita who lives in here in town. She wanted us to take some pregnancy shots of her. So Tricia and I had fun playing around with the pics. Since then she has had a healthy baby boy. The father of the baby was killed and Lupita is 17. She lives with her Grandma and mother. My heart really goes out to her....

    This is sweet lil Marlen....The flower in her hair, I thought was interesting, it came off a tree but it looks like a clematis flower. /....Oh yea Someone asked if I was her mom!? lol i don't look that old do i?? But Its very normal here to have babies very young.

     

     

    Mexico 123

    One day Tricia and I went around taking pics of the area, this is one of them. We were hoping for a very vibrant sunset but although we didn't get that God still gave us a very pretty sunset.

     

     

     

    Mexico 207

    Back in Sept there was a big holiday here with foot races, bike races, food, and music. The boys from the orphanage help to participate in the foot races. This is Miguel, Diego, Domingo,and Morgan, who was here for two months with his family, watching the races.

    ...Learning how to make tortilla's!....Ana, a good friend, taught Tricia and I how to make um at her place over an open fire. We in exchange taught her how to make cake. The next day Tricia decided we would try to make tortilla's on our own, since we were now experts at it, an of course they ended up a big flop with the whole kitchen and dining room filling up with smoke....No, not really actually...They tasted fine and we ate um ...but i still think you can't beat making them on an open fire! These tortilla were corn and flower mixed. ....In this pic you can also see Ana's mother in the back peeking in...i love the way there life style is so relaxed and nothing matters! They have nothing better to do in the whole word than watch the gringos lol..
