Last day.... boo hoo!

We made it! The kids had a wonderful time swimming in the pool once we made it to our first destination. We will head to Puebla, Mexico tomorrow.


Ever seen a Purepecha Yard Sale? I hadn't either, until yesterday. It was hilarious!! I told them to come to my house, I would open my door promptly at 5 and they could buy whatever I was selling for a very good price. This was the food we were selling. Everything went for about 5 cents.


I had just opened the door.

A lady grabbing the boys bedspreads. She was HAPPY!!

Fighting over food.

"Whew, this is hard work!"

This is Jerod's "Purepecha" mama, Mimica. He is gonna miss her, and she and her boys will miss him too!

It was hard saying goodbye to Mada and Adolfo. They own the land we live on and their son owns our house. They have been a big part of our lives ever since the first day we arrived here. Sometimes more of a part than I would have liked since Mada is somewhat of a snoop! :o) But today as we said a so so sad goodbye, the tears started flowing. Both of them started and then of course, I started and well, it was just one big pitty party! I just hope and pray they are still there when we return. Will you pray for them?

The lost sheep. He was the last one too! We stopped by on our way out of the village to say goodbye to Salvador. He was all by himself in his house. It was really quite sad. We talked to him and prayed with him. He said he didn't want to leave God, he wants to change, he just can't seem to beat his addiction. His heart is good, his addiction is BAD! Will you pray?

Okay, we are now safely tucked away in a nice, comfy, Holiday Inn Express and are enjoying rest and relaxation. We have eaten a wonderful meal at Chili's and we saw the movie "A Night At the Museum 2." We all loved it! It was a very tough last few days and we are glad that we made it through them in one piece! ;o) Although it was really sad to say goodbye to some of our friends it was nice knowing they were all united as a church and hopefully we will return with a stronger group than we have now! Please continue to pray for us over the next week as we will be meeting with other IMB missionaries and we will have our annual meeting. There will be many traveling from many different areas, please pray for all of our travels! Thank you! Love you!! Missy

Saying good~bye....

I hate saying good~bye I really do! However, I said it a 100 times yesterday and will say it again today. We plan on leaving today hopefully before noon. We are ready! It has been a hard last few days. It is never easy when you are living like this and the stress level is high and your kids are excited and a little crazy. There have been many tears shed and many voices raised and tempers flaired. Oh, did I say that? I bet you guys thought we never did those things since we are missionaries! ;o) Anyway, I am sure they will be glad to be done with this process just so they can have their parents back! We are headed to a larger city today to spend the night in a hotel. So hopefully we can do something fun today once we get out of here. We love our people but we have said enough good~byes to last us at least a year or more.

Please pray for our travels. We will be traveling today and tomorrow. Tomorrow we will head to Puebla, Mexico for our companies' annual meeting and we are all looking forward to that one last time before we leave Mexico next Tuesday. I love you all! Missy

Oh, high speed internet is coming at these hotels, so look for many photos! ;o)
