We are full time missionaries living in Piedras Negras, Mexico. We get to be involved in all kinds of craziness and adventures. Here are some of the stories.

Long Time No Write

It has been a VERY long time since I last wrote. Since then we went to Georgia for a fundraising trip. While there we got to catch up with family and friends and even had an early Thanksgiving with all of Tex's family in October. We had a great trip home but were very anxious and happy to get back. After our long road trip one of the things I was most excited about getting back to was catching up with the kids that live around us. One of the girls that I’ve gotten close to is Sarai, the oldest of 8, that’s right EIGHT!. (They range from 14 to 5 months). She is a beautiful young woman who works hard to help her parents take care of the family. Shortly after we got back, her 14th birthday was coming up and we wanted to do something special for her. So Tex, Katt (a teacher at Nava school living with us), and I brought her a cake and sodas for an impromptu birthday party. She was so grateful and it was a blessing to spend time with her and her family. While at her house we planned to get her haircut the next week. I’m pretty sure this was the first time she had ever been to a salon to have here hair done professionally. It was such a blessing that we could take her for a short girls afternoon of relaxation and fun! We are blessed to have Sarai and her family in our lives.

Katt and Saraii after their haircuts! ¡Que Bonita!
