The Big Surprise...


The MacKinnon family serve alongside us in Mexico, and Christian is Field Director for OMS. When we arrived in Mexico last year they were our mentors, but very soon became good friends, and are now more like family.

Jonny has  a great relationship with Christian, both in his work and also as good mates (as we say here in Norn Iron.) And Julie has made a a lifelong friend in Robin, and the girls really hit it off on the field  and this has continued with many e-mails and phone calls back an forth.

Don't even get us started about the kids, as they are some of the nicest kids we have ever met, and children that we know Ben will love growing up with!

When we were in Mexico, we always chatted about the possibility of them coming over to spend time with our family in N. Ireland, and guess what it's going to happen!

Robin & Maddie (their oldest daughter) have arrived this morning for a week. We have organised so many exciting things for them to do (although Julie & Robin just want to sit and chat all day!)

Please pray for them, especially for Christian, Amelia, Joshua & Ethan as they remain in Mexico, and also for Robin & Maddie as they travel to N. Ireland. And pray that we have a really blessed time when they are over!
