Our trip back to school

We were in second grade yesterday. Mrs. Huisman's class were soooo cute and so much fun! They drew us cards and pictures to take with us on the road and they pray for us each morning.



This is Mrs. Culpepper's fifth grade class in Florida. We had the opportunity to visit this class and talk about Mexico. The children had many great questions and we look forward to get to know them better this year and share the experiences of a missionary. Pray for these children as they start fifth grade and that they get a heart for missions. We are their class missionaries.

New Friends

On break we were asked by a friend to house sit. Here are the family pets! We had a great time watching the goats play and trying to eat up everything.

Up Coming Plans

Since we have had to take a break from traveling Crystal and I came up with an idea to raise some support needed. We call it the team ONE project. It is where we are going to try to get more individuals to become part of our team and support us for 1%. This equals about $31 dollars per month. We are designing a card and letterhead at the moment and plan to use this to help with the 25% left to raise. God has blessed us with a few more meetings coming up and our support raising ministry is almost over. This has been such a great year on the road! Please pray for team ONE project.

Crystal Having Surgery

This is me at the hospital going to have surgery to remove some cyst. I have been sick for awhile and am feeling much better. Flat Max was one of my doctors in the room. Thank you to all of you that prayed for me and my recovery. God used many of you to encourage us as we have had to cancel some meetings and sit for a bit. Hopefully I can now keep up with our busy schedule coming up and can update the blog more.

Team Members

Some of the goals on our survey trip were to meet with national pastors and ask questions about the area and visit their ministries. We all learned so much! These meetings helped us to decide what part of Mexico to work in.

The Baird family have been missionaries in Mexico for about 15 years and are on furlough at this present time. We will all be working together for the first few years. The Bairds have such a heart for Mexico.

Survey Trip To Mexico

On our trip to Mexico God really made it evident that we were to start our work in Zacatecas. It is 95% catholic. There are over 20 universities in the city and our plan is to start a work among the students and use this ministry to branch into the rural surrounding areas. When you feel like you have it all planned out; that is when God shows us what He has planned which it far better then what we thought to do. We are so grateful for God opening our eyes to the need in Zacatecas and can not wait to return and start His work there. We are very excited about the opportunities!

Construction Projects When On A Break

This is our construction effort on mom and dad's house. Looks great right?








Had a great time, but it was frustrating!
