You don't have to tell me...slack doesn't even describe my blogging lately but here I am finally getting you an update. To be fair, though, it has been a crazy but wonderful stretch. Two weeks ago we had a group come in from Phoenix, about 25 people or so who came to build a house for a pastor in Guaymas. Then, last week Sunday (8 days ago...) the CrossCurrent group from WBC came. They overlapped the Phoenix group until last week Wednesday giving us a total of about 50 people to cook for for those 4 days. During those 4 days, the Phoenix group though moved out of the house into some hotel rooms close to our house.
The Cross Current group ran a basketball camp in San Carlos as well as doing some various construction projects including digging two septic tanks for families who had no real plumbing in their houses. On Friday we head out to a town about five hours north east up in the mountains called Arizpe which is where I am now. The team has been doing a bunch of outreach with music, dramas, testimonies and soccer games and now some painting and digging for a new basketball court in a neighbouring community.
It's neat to look back and realize that it was only 10 months ago that I first set foot here in Mexico with the last Cross Current group...what an adventure it has been since then! I have to admit that at first I wasn't looking forward to having the groups here just because of the routine that had been developed...it was that old, stubborn, selfish part of me but as it often goes, God shows up in the unexpected places and blesses the socks off of us when we least expect it. It has been a privilege to be apart of the lives of the people in the teams that have come here and to be a part of their ministry and the things God is doing in them and through them.

I've been wondering what you have been up to over the years. I think it's very neat that you are in Mexico right now.
