Home Sweet Home
This is our home in our little village at the edge of a mesa. This is the first glimpse of the village from the road as we travel in. After 5.5 hours of a very bumpy, bouncy ride it’s a site for sore eyes!
Needed: Clean Water
In Las Moras, Mexico, the Nahuatl people have few options for water. Some haul it from a nearby stream where people also bathe and wash laundry. Some haul it from small, dirty springs that are often muddied by livestock. Some gather it from puddles when it rains. None of them have access to clean water, […]
Eye Clinic
We’re getting ready to pick up an optometrist from the airport in a few hours. Then, we’ll head into the village to host an eye-clinic for the people of Las Moras and the surrounding communities. Please pray for opportunities to build relationships with those from other villages. Please pray for clear communication as we translate […]

Progress
The guys got back today from the village. They hauled over 30 pick-up loads of dirt to fill in our foundation! The building team took a break so that they could just shovel the dirt from the pickup right into the house. The team got started again when they’d finished the fill. We have 6 […]
Visiting
One of the goals of us girls was to do a lot of visiting. The first few days we were there we couldn’t escape that goal, ladies were stopping by at all hours, some staying for 10 minutes, others for several hours. But, after a few days, the visits waned, so we were able to […]
