Why is it that on the days that are worth blogging about you’re too tired to write anything. Today was really ome of the most insane days I’ve had. Ever. Period. It started out with just the regular busyness of getting ready for the clinic: picking up furniture, supplies, equipment. Then Ethan and I got […]

As mentioned last week, we have two college students with us for two weeks, Caleb and Ethan. Thet have been just great. Their first days they went to a late night Bible study, a three hour football camp under the blazing sun, new food, a strange roommate (Eddie:) and aced everything. They helped Eddie get […]

Here’s a quick snapshot of what turned into a busy day: • Blueberry panckes! • Church at Comunidad Bíblica • Tacos al Pastor! • Prep for medical team meeting • Pick up people for the meeting • The meeting. We had about 20 people at the house, talked through the organization of the clinic and […]

Well, in the interest of my newest pledge, today was pretty busy: • American football. We had 6 kids come, which was fine. They’re all kids I’ve had in computer class, and some of them are on Drew’s soccer team. None of them had played before, so it was cool to see them all throwing […]

Writing on the bus again, going up to get Caleb and Ethan, BBC students who will be working with us for a few weeks. We’re excited about the things we’ve got planned: football training tomorrow, times in the school, outdoor adventure training, and…the medical outreach clinic. It’s been a whirlwind of activity. This morning Fiona […]

I’m on the bus from Mexco City to Puebla, bringing our newest teammate, Eddie Ferguson, to Puebla. We are excited (although Gavin and Fiona and Drew more so even) about working with Eddie. He’s coming to work with us in Pueblo Nuevo, to help with the ministry there. Eddie is a 2009 Moody graduate who […]

Today we went to the Instituto Nacional de Migración for the second of (hopefully) three stages for our FM-3 visa. The FM-3 is the visa that allows us to live and work in Mexico as missionaries. I confess that government forms and paperwork leave me knock-kneed and nervous. We’ve always just gone with a lawyer […]

Here’s the complete set of photos from the EBM Retreat in Veracruz: EBM Retreat 2011. If you already looked at the first bunch, advance through the small slides at the bottom to #64.

Well, we got back from the retreat pretty wiped out. It’s strange because usually being tired would be from staying up until 1 am playing Rook. But everyone was too tired and usually bedtime was 11:30. Maybe we’re getting old. We had good sharing, Bible study times, I thought. Really, this was almost the first […]

Well, we’ve had a good couple more days here, and tonight’s the last night. It’s been a good time for everyone to be together, build sand castles, talk, play. We’re grateful to be able to come here and do this. We’ve had good times of sharing and study and singing together. Nothing spectacular, but good. […]
