On our Way: All Ready
All packed and ready to go. I got toilet paper, a pillow, my sleeping bag, and my running shoes. I think I’m all set! Please pray for us as we travel the next few days.
Canning
We’re heading out to the village again soon. And, there is no refrigeration or ways of storing perishables. We’ve wanted to can for a while – to see if the jars will keep their seals on the bumpy roads and the 9,000 ft elevation change. So, we decided to try it! Two experienced canners and […]
The Guys’ Trip
Last week, the guys on our team and a missions pastor from a local church here took off to the village with Katie’s and my house plans, a model of our house, cement for our foundation, and lumber for our lintels. It was a trip mainly to get the construction started on our house. They […]
Our House
Two weeks ago, when we came out of the village last time, we sat down together as a team and decided that we would build our house (Katie’s and my house) first! I was hit with excitement – that we were finally getting to build our house- and the realization that OUR HOUSE WAS GOING […]
A post from my partner, Katie
This is a bit of what’s happening in the life of my partner, Katie. She teaches school to the kids on the team. She has 4 elementary kids in 4 different grades! I’m glad I’m not her! She does a great job. Last Friday as the team returned from our first field trip, I was […]
Consultants
We just had a trip from 3 consultants – church-planting consultants and culture and language learning consultants. These guys have been involved planting a church among tribal people in other locations and learning the language and culture of the people. They come to help us out – hear out our plans and help to guide […]
Water?
We had the privilege of taking a hydrologist friend of one of my partners with us on our last trip. The men hiked all over the area investigating all the water sources within a mile radius of our village – springs, creeks, and seeps. He determined that we have plenty of water to supply all […]
Our Houses
One of the purposes on our trip was to figure out where we could build our houses. This was accomplished! One of the leaders told us we should build below his house between some other houses so that they could keep an eye on our houses when we have to be out of the village. […]
The Road
The road to Las Moras has been labeled by my co-workers here in Mexico as the worst road that any of us have to travel. It is rarely maintained. When it is rainy, it can take up to 3 days to get out of Las Moras because of the mud (63 miles). It is extremely […]
We have adobes!
God answered our prayers. We weren’t sure what to expect as far as adobes were concerned, because we’d been gone for so long. We weren’t sure if the people would be motivated to make what we asked when we weren’t coming back for so long. We had left some money with the village leaders to […]
