Remember the green material from this post...and I promised it would be back...well --
I have Kylie's to finish yet, and I still have some left so who knows what else I'll do with it. =)

Fun times

Last weekend we had lots of company! =) I love to have friends to visit my house, but I was sick and having trouble keeping up with the schedule! =) It was great fun though. Friday night a family from the church came for supper, later that evening I met a family in the park across the street who were Christians that spoke some English, so they came over that night, Saturday the young people from the Mountains came down for a real fun time of games and also some serious moments when Jonathan talked to them about making sure they were saved. Sunday was busy with church and company for dinner! It was all good, but by Sunday night I was wiped out!

Please pray for these young people that one day soon they will accept Jesus as their Lord!

Morning Routine's

The past month or so the kids have been enjoying 'drinkin' yougerts'! Since they are only about $.30 each here, compared to $1 each in the USA, we've made them a breakfast routine! They wake up and all come downstairs and starting asking for 'drinkin yougerts'! Even Kammy knows!!

Sewing fun!

The week before Mother's Day, 3 of the ladies from the church in Tapachula came to the house and we made rice bags. It was a Thursday evening, so Jonathan had to go to Santa Domingo for Bible Study. A few minutes before Jonathan left I was starting to get the dough made for homemade pretzels and while that was rising I mixed up a batch of banana muffins. I turned the oven on and found out I was out of gas! It was a fearful moment for a while, realizing that I wasn't going to have food, and no way to get gas to make food. But God helped me and I had some taco meat already cooked in the fridge, so I just went to the little store here in the development and got some tortillas, and we had American tacos! There wasn't any left overs, so I guess they liked it! =) Bro. Antonio also came to babysit all 7 of the kids! I didn't have a chance to get a picture of them. But they had fun playing in the park.

I didn't count how many of the rice bags we made, but it was quit a few. They were planning to give them to family members for Mother's Day and even to the ladies of the Santa Domingo church. BTW, how do you like that green material? I feel in love! So...look for it to show up again! (Hopefully soon!)

Mother's Day

I'm just a few days late with this post, but I am thankful for my mom! Whatever I need, she usually comes up with a way to find it!! =) For example, I am looking for a suit for Korey. I mentioned it to her and this morning I woke up with about 8 emails from her with links to places to find the exact suit I needed! Thanks mom!!

And my mother-in-law! She has taught me so much. If I'm half the missionary's wife that she is I'll feel 'accomplished' in life! She also raised an incredible son for me to marry!

My Mother's Day was just another busy Sunday! It was a good day with my family, and like always, I'm so thankful for the little people who make me a mom! I wanted to be (or thought I did) a lot of things growing up - but a mommy was always at the top of the list!

A birthday party

Monday evening, Jonathan was invited to preach at a birthday party! The granddaughter of Bro. Benjamin in Santa Domingo turned 3. First we had a service. Jonathan brought a good message about training our children in the ways of God. The poor little girl was so tired and sleep though the whole service. The brought her out at the end of us to sing Happy Birthday (in Spanish of course!) and for Jonathan to pray for her. There was alot of people there who don't attend church with us, so pray that somehow God will use something in the service to draw them to Him! Then they brought out some good tamales! Jonathan was a very happy person...especially since they brought him some coffee too! They grow coffee in this area, and Jonathan absolutely loves it!

Special prayer for the birthday girl & her parents

Road Block

Last Sunday afternoon, there was a road block on one of the main highways!

Volcano

Finally we were able to get a picture of the Volcano that's close to Tapachula! Usually it's been either cloudy or else hazy from heat and you couldn't see it. Its actually half in Mexico and partly in Guatemala. They say its an active volcano, but the top blew at one point and it spews mostly on the other side.
