It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We are on a major countdown with only 9 days until we arrive in Mexico! The office is bustling with packing, craft preparation, photocopying and organizing. Some moments I feel like my brain may just explode with all the information I'm trying to retain! I do know that once all these things get dealt with, we are going to have an amazing trip to Mexico. For the first time in 9 years, Gary and Lisa will be staying back this Christmas to enjoy the season in Abbotsford. Mike and I will be leading the team and we are thrilled to have along with us our children, Caleb, Abbi, and Sadie.

The rest of our team consists of Ron and Marilyn Peters and 3 of their chidren - Joshua, Matt and Micaela Peters (Mexico Missions veterans). Naomi and Dustin May and their two children, Halle and Sam. Scott and Sarah Born and their three children, Kianna,Jenaya, and Summer. Plus, we have Mike Woloshen who has enjoyed quite a few trips over the past year and a half and will be heading up our construction project. We also have Kierra Hughes, Betty and Emma Balzer and Don and Linda Fornwald, Mike's parents joining us.

We are focusing on a few key things this trip. We hope to lay the foundation for the new team building, we will be involved in setting up for the CDL Christmas production, we will be putting on a Health and Wellness day for CDL and La Hermosa Church and a spa night for the ladies, plus kids camps, Tijuana Breakfasts and more!! It will be a packed trip.

Please pray for us as we prepare and as we go to Mexico. We want to see God's Kingdom Come and join in with all that he is already doing in the lives of the families in Primo Tapia.
