Sep. update

This Sunday, the 5th, will be two months since we packed up and moved from Puebla to San Cristobal, Chiapas. Instead of long prose paragraphs let me try to break them down into bite size chunks.

Setting up home: getting water for our tanks on the roof, finding gas tanks for hot water and stove, getting up at 6:30a.m. to learn the garbage truck's schedule, buying furniture for our living room.

Learning about San Cristobal: driving the streets for innumerable errands, where to pay the bills, opening bank acct., visit churches

Playing host to special guests: Cesar and his team from the UNAM, Mariana & Hilda, David & Laura and Dad & Zondra

Starting school for Jacob: a wonderful Christian pre-school, first few days of many tears all around, birthday party, first parent/teacher meeting and organizing his formal education and informal education with our trips to indigenous villages

Ministry opportunities: Pedro and I have set up our office in our home for the Escuela Biblica Jovel, one day a week in an indigenous region providing for physical needs and seeking reconciliation, visits to other indigenous regions recruiting for our school.

We hope we are ready to settle down now and develop routines (always open to surprises!) to let God use us as He wills. Thank you for your ongoing prayers and partnership.
