It seems like we have been traveling a lot since May. I am tired and want to stay home for awhile. So, I think that is what we are going to do. We had a great week at the Convention of Mexican Baptists. We heard how God is moving all over Mexico and many people are accepting Him as the ONLY way. I say that because many people here feel there are more ways to get to heaven than Jesus alone. So, we learned a lot about the things that are happening with the Mexican Baptists and were glad to make new friends. We also had a good time with some of our close American friends. Sorry I have been off the net for the week, but I am back!
The location of the convention was in a place where it is quite a bit warmer than where we live and they had many pools. We had a great time playing in the pool after attending many meetings. We had one day to play and went to a water park nearby and had a fun, family and friends day. We were a little worried about Annie's leg. We were told no chlorine for 6 months. However, I am thinking that was chlorine in the States. I think maybe chlorine in Mexico is a little different! :o) ( the scum at the bottom of some of the pools kinda gave it away) I struggled with what to do for a day or so and then she eased into a baby pool and had little if any pain. She tried the second time and had none. So, by the last day she played at the water park without any problems. We kept her well covered in sunscreen, kept her pressure garments on and then prayed we made the right decision. It was a huge success for her as she had no fear of water and just played and played! That was a PRAISE!!
Please pray for our friends ,Josh and Jenell, who are m's that live in a city near us. They are expecting their second child any minute. Their first child was in the picture with Annie on the 4th of July. Her name is Tiana. Please pray for them as this transition from one baby to two babies will be a big one. Pray that all goes well with the delivery and there are no complications. Tiana had a rough start with some heart problems and Down Syndrome, so we know there may be some anticipation until little baby Allen (last name) arrives. I will let you know how it goes! Thanks for all of your prayers! We love you!
Today, my heart is singing as I delight in the Lord seeing what He has done in Annie's life. Looking into those eyes, enjoying that beautiful smile. . . . HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!

ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! You are doing great with the blog, as long as you post a few times a month, you are doing better than a lot of others. It's great to hear of all the great things going on in Mexico! I have a Stateside conference coming in this week and I have 5 little girls in my class. If we come to your mind, pray for us, being away from mommy for the first time in their lives is a really hard thing for these littlest MK's. Looking forward to seeing y'all when you come for YOUR stateside conference!
Love y'all!
