One of the other assignments we have is to explore our area in Mexico. So a couple Saturdays ago we were taken by another missionary family to a favorite trout fishing spot that a lot of people visit on the weekends. It was about 30 minutes outside of Puebla, but the drive was breath taking with all the hills, mountains and volcanoes we saw on the way there. Once we arrived we felt like we were back at home in Missouri because there were a lot of trees and a babbling spring fed brook. There was a little playground for the girls and plenty of places for them to run and play. We all were able to catch one fish a piece. Yes even Evie hooked a pretty good sized one. Of course I (Gabrielle) reeled them in and took them off the hook, but they had to hook them first. We had a great time spending time as a family and teaching the girls a little bit about fishing, which is one of my (Gabrielle) favorite past times with my Dad!
We have experienced quite a few hail storms here in Puebla and the latest one covered our back yard. The girls played in it like it was snow. But with hail is usually rain and a lot of it. We have found the drainage here is lacking and have found quite a few detours around flooded streets. So I figured if that is the closest we get to snow I can handle it. But the majority of the time we have beautiful weather!
This next week we will be driving to Guadalajara for the Mexican Baptist Convention. We are hoping to attend some meetings and begin relationships that will soon turn into partnerships in reaching the city of Puebla for Jesus. Please pray for traveling mercies as we will be gone from July 4-15. See you in a couple weeks.
Below is the link to the fishing pictures and a few more.
