Hey Hey Whata Ya Say:It's Just Another Mexican Day!

Things We Love:
~The staff, they are still our favorite people---we are not annoyed with them
~The participates, even the annoying middle schoolers that don't lift a finger on a MISSION trip
~Opening letters from our friends each week, this is for sure a highlight...Emily did great thing by asking folks to write us
~Will and I are leading a group next week (the youth pastor didn't want a woman to lead him...so they are sending in the manliest man they know---my husband (mi esposso)
~Our half day of tomorrow---we are going to a Mexican Water Park (prego will not be participating, don't worry....she's just there for the fellowship)
~Money-we bought a new camera last night and we should get it late next week...yay
~The fact that folks are praying for us back home
~God
~The fact that our Sister/ Sis-In-Law is in Africa serving the Lord---how neato
~My day consisted of buying $40.00 worth of pads for female prisoners....they don't have anything for that time of the month....let's just say it is a huge issue for them...so we went and bought some for them---oh and also painting Juan 3:16 (John 3:16) on a youth room wall at our church
~The breeze
~Thomi (our crazy boss...in a good way)'s adoption went through---he is adopting a son from Kenya---he expects another 8 weeks and then he will be home
~Candy---I crave a lot of it
~Brandon, Will loved getting your letter (and your letter to me was really sweet this week too---thanks)
~Wet Wipes----total lifesavers
~AND DAD THIS ONE IS FOR YOU~~~Our AC got fixed today, as well as our bathroom sink...happy birthday los hawks.....we just had to talk to the right guy...praise God for this sweet little Mexican man...who can fix things like my grandfathers can


Things We Could Live Without:
~Throwing away toilet paper instead of flushing it---this still stinks
~The heat----it is so hot (I know...your not surprised)
~The scorpion count....five and growing:)
~Vera getting muddy and really wet in the pond and then jumping in the driver's seat as well as our bed (laundry)
~Swallowing Prenatal Vitamins....que horrible

love you all---promise we do---will and ka

Are you serious that a youth pastor didn't want a woman to lead him? I thought those were a dying breed! Maybe that thought was just a hope though.
