2 Month Update.....!

We have now been in Mexico for two months, and we are going to go out for a bit tonight to celebrate! Today we got a little pang for home, and sometimes, more than others, it can really frustrate you! So today we prayed for the Lord to strengthen us at this time, and help us to be faithful in His plans. So I want to kick off a monthly report of looking back at what I like to call our "Red Sea Moments." I came to this when I read about the Exodus, and 3 days after crossing the Red Sea, the children of Israel began grumbling. Yet God reminded them to remember how He proved Himself to them by His faithfulness! We can count these ourselves when we have times when out of the ordinary things happen in our lives that can only be attributed to God. So here goes!
  1. We are now really into our Spanish and we have found it difficult at times, but God has blessed us with amazing teachers, and an amazing tutor for Julie.
  2. We have a wee car which has meant that we can zoom around the city in safety, and get places to relax when we need to.
  3. We have been blessed by being able to live so close to the other missionaries on the field, and we have such a great team here to share God's work with.
  4. God has given us an amazing family as friends. We have spent some great time with Benjamin, Gretal & Yohanni, having meals and having real fellowship while attempting to speak Spanish!
  5. God has astounded us with providing us with Skype, which has meant that we can keep in contact with home. We were told it would take weeks for our internet to be activated, and yet it only took about one day! Praise God for making things happen in His time!

There has been so many more things that have caused us to rejoice, and we will definately have more in the months to come.

We hope you can feel encouraged to sit back and look at your "Red Sea Moments." They really make you stand in awe of the faithfulness of our God!
