Well, we’re back home! <\/p>\n
That’s what it felt like, as we drove over one of the last mountain passes
\nand saw Popo and Izta in the fading sunset, and a little bit later saw
\nMalinche. We say Psalm 121 (in Spanish) with the kids
\njust about every night. That’s been especially meaningful as we’ve been on this trip.<\/p>\n
“I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help
\ncomes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth” <\/p>\n
We drove through some hills on the way up to Puebla (the hills were beautiful; the trucks were annoying), and it is
\ngreat to remember that the Lord is our help. That’s as we drove almost 12
\nhours today, had a couple interactions with the traffic cops, fought an
\nintransigent GPS, didn’t get lost in Tampico (despite all the best efforts
\nof the sign makers), and drove into the Carrillo’s neighborhood. It was so
\ngreat to ring their doorbell. And a few minutes later Chris came walking
\nin. It was great to see him and give him a big old bear hug. Drew was so
\nexcited he ran and jumped into Chris’ arms! And then we got a great Mexican
\nsupper, flautas and tostadas with flan for dessert. Yup, we’re back<\/p>\n
God is so good, he protected us so graciously (as in: he didn’t owe us a
\nsafe trip, but he gave it to us anyway) these 4550 miles from Tacoma back to
\nPuebla. <\/p>\n
Thank you for your part in prayer, advice, hospitality, and just plain ol’
\nmoral support. <\/p>\n
Now for the real deal, the work of ministry in Puebla (Romero Vargas=Pueblo
\nNuevo)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
