Saying Farwell

What a busy month we have had wrapping things up here in Mexico in order to return to the States for our year furlough time. We have completed all of our medical that can be done here in Mexico and got it all sent off to where it needs to go. We also celebrated Evie's 6th birthday this month as well. She asked to have a swimming party here at our house and wouldn't you know it was hot and sunny the day before and the day after but rainy and cold on the day of. But it all worked out that they could swim for a bit, it was just a little chilly. This past weekend was a busy one with the Regional Baptist Convention taking place close by. It was a wonderful time saying our goodbyes to the different pastors we have encountered in our term. We also had the privilege of hosting some of our fellow Missourians here in Mexico for the convention: The Executive Director of the Missouri Baptist Convention (MBC) Dr. John Yeats and the Partnership Missions Specialist with the MBC, Dr. Rick Hedger, along with their wives. They came to talk about a partnership between our two conventions in order to help the Puebla State Convention with their vision to plant 100 new churches by the year 2020. We are very excited to see where God will take this partnership in the future. Another big event that happened at our church was a little graduation they had for the kids for completing the Great Adventure curriculum that comes with the Samaritan's Purse Christmas Shoeboxes. Since this was also our last Sunday to attend before we leave they had a little prayer time for us. It was very encouraging to us to hear their sweet words to us about how God has used us in their life.

Easter, Birthday, Convention, and Goodbye
