On the road again...

We plan to head south to Mexico this week and would appreciate your prayers for us.  We will be driving down with a car we just got while here.  Thanks for your prayers. 

Winter Wonderland

Our Mexican acclimated blood is having a tough time getting used to all this snow.  It has been fun to see it, play in it, shovel it but we are now ready to get out of it!  We have been in northern Minnesota and they are getting more than their share of snow.

While here we enjoyed Dan's parents 50th anniversary celebration combined with a Nelson family reunion.  It was fun to be together again.

The happy couple

November Hunting

As many of you know, when a young lady turns 15 in Latin America she receives a "quinceañera" (coming of age ceremony, like a wedding) Both of our girls enjoyed theirs but there is nothing for the boys.  So... as a family we decided that we would do our own thing for Adrian.  He turns 15 in May but we thought that a hunting trip would be a good male bonding thing.  Dan brought him up in November and they enjoyed the hunt with Grandpa and both got their deer.  He has dreamed of this since he was small so it was a big deal.

Dan has been able to connect with some of our supporters in the Minnesota area.  Thanks for having us on short notice.
