Almost There!

Only 5 more days until we get back home in Mexico!  We have had a good trip so far.  We have traveled from north central Ohio to south east Ohio, to Knoxville, TN and then to Harriman, TN.  From Harriman we drove ALL day last Monday to Livingston, LA.  We left when it was still dark (about 6:30am) and arrived at about 10:00pm.  It was a long, grueling day.  Dragging the trailer makes it so much slower and longer...but I do have to say that it's less stressful than driving fast and getting stuck behind people with trailers!  From Livingston we left mid-morning to get to Spring, TX by that evening.  Since we had been stuck in the van for several days, we decided to go to a mall close by the prophets chamber we were to stay at to walk around and relax.  Ashley especially loved the kids play area.

After Spring, TX we met some friends in Houston for lunch, then drove to Helotes, TX (outside of San Antonio).  The drive was especially long...we got stuck in rush hour traffic and arrived at the church at 6:30.  It was a good thing we were shooting for 5:30!  We had a great meeting there, and went to eat with some of the folks afterwards.  The prophets chamber was very comfortable, but Ashley didn't let us sleep very well.  We finally got moving in the late morning and just skipped breakfast, loaded up and drove into San Antonio after lunch.

We're staying in south-east San Antonio until Saturday morning.  This afternoon I caught up on some paperwork and tried to catch up on some rest.  We had supper at the Spaghetti Factory (gross) and then walked up and down the River Walk.  That was pretty fun!

Tomorrow we're going to the Alamo (FREE!!) and maybe a wax museum.  We'll see.  Saturday we're back on the road to Killeen, TX for a meeting on Sunday morning.  Sunday night we'll be at Capitol City Baptist Church in Austin, stay in town over night, then headed to the BORDER to stay overnight on Monday.

Tuesday is the big day!  We can't wait.

Our support didn't increase this month.  We were very disappointed, but trust The Lord to bring it to pass in His time.  So, we'll do what we love for 6 weeks in Mexico and then continue on deputation in late January.

Pray for us, and for safety crossing the border and until we arrive home in Arteaga.  God bless!

Flying the Coop

We're officially on our way back to Mexico!  We left yesterday (November 26th) from my parent's home in West Salem, OH and drove to Charleston, WV.  On the way, we stopped at Bro. Paul Deem's warehouse to load up with Scriptures and Christmas Shoe Boxes of Joy.  We completely filled the trailer, even a little bit over the maximum recommended weight.  We're just driving slower!  Today we drove from Charleston, WV to Knoxville, TN.  We'll visit with our dear friends (practically family) at Knoxville Baptist Tabernacle in the morning, and then present our ministry with the good folks at Harriman Baptist Tabernacle tomorrow evening.

Then it's off to Livingston, LA to stay in a prophets chamber on Monday night, then to Spring, TX to stay in a prophets chamber there, then on Wednesday (December 1st) we'll present our ministry in Helotes, TX.  We'll be "free" for the following 2 days, and we'll find some free stuff to do around San Antonio.  We plan on going soul-winning in Killeen, TX on Saturday, December 4th, and then present our work there during the AM service the next day.  That evening, we don't have any planned meeting so we may just stay in town and resist the temptation of just driving home to Mexico.  We're still praying about it.  We'll see!

Monday, December 6th we'll officially be headed to Mexico!  We plan on staying at the border that evening and then crossing on Tuesday morning, to arrive home that afternoon.  Talk about excited!  There is so much to do, so much to get started and finished--it will be good to be home.

Please pray for our support to go up.  That's all we want and need.  We want to live, work, and be IN Mexico for good.  Thanks for your interest and time!  God bless you!
