Forgot two pictures

What we have been up to...

Annie and one of my best friends from high school, Mindy. Loved seeing you Mindy!

















This was me, gearing up for my 2 hour women's conference. I loved it! The table doesn't look that great, but... oh well.
















Annie and the Easter Bunny.


















The women at Eastway Baptist getting their delicious breakfast.

















Cousins. Marissa, Alex, Annie, Jerod, and Mason. They had fun together.
















This is my friend, Lorenda. She is here with me at seminary and she is Daphca's (Haitian baby) mommy. We have had a wonderful time together. It has been nice to have a Mexican family~friend here with us in Wake Forest.

Hi friends~ I miss writing to all of you. I have a request. If you know anyone, I mean ANYONE who wants to receive our monthly newsletter please have them email me or you can email me with their email address. However, I need them to explain who they are and how I might know them before I will add them to the monthly newsletter. All of our newsletter contact list members have been lost and we are starting from scratch. So, I am trying to put together a new list. So if you know of someone who may be interested in receiving our newsletter, please have them email me. Thanks!

I wanted to add some more pictures so you could see some of the things we have been up to lately. I also wanted to show you some of the ways that Eastway blessed us this past weekend. These sweet women donated medical supplies and over-the-counter medicine that I could use when people come to me for small medical needs. Like a badly skinned knee or a toothache or headache or cold. They come to me and ask me for some kind of relief and I usually give them a few ibuprofen or clean up their scrape and then tell them to seek medical attention. I am just the first stop before they head into town. So these supplies will be a huge blessing. THANK YOU EASTWAY!!

The boys are practicing French. They are saying, "Wii Wii." Ha! Jerod is our saver. He saved for a little more than a year in Mexico so that when he arrived in the US he made his first big purchase and bought an Ipod touch. He has loved having it and has now saved for another year and when I say saved, he saves his birthday money, Christmas money and allowance. So he now has enough to buy a Wii. He is such a wise man. The government could learn a thing or two from him! (sorry, I had to go there!) Anyway, Jerod purchased his Wii this past weekend and it was a great day! (for his brother and sister too) As you can see from the picture, I don't know who is more excited, Jerod, or Alex. So, that is what the boys are up to!

Annie is gearing up for the Easter bunny and asking me a TON of questions to which I don't know how to respond. ?!? :~) This is her first experience with the Easter bunny. She hasn't ever experienced this before. They definitely don't have this tradition in Mexico and so we didn't either. The boys understood and she never knew. If it isn't in stores and people don't talk about it, you don't find out about it. Plus...we didn't have American commercials. So, there you have it. So, we have visited the Easter bunny at the mall and she has an Easter basket. She has no idea why Americans do this funny thing, but she thinks finding eggs will be fun. She did ask me who the Easter bunny really is and I said, "Uh, hang on, honey I have to call someone." Such a good mother, huh? So that question has been avoided for the time. I just want her to enjoy this season, because it will be her one and only shot at it.

We have enjoyed seeing old friends, making new ones and generally being in the US and now we are all thinking about our next journey. What to buy and take back, what we will miss, what we need to do before then and how we can prepare ourselves. Please pray that we can make all of these transitions well. Love to you all, Missy
