Fantastic Two Weeks!



For the past two weeks we have had the privilege of hosting two wonderful young ladies in our home. Myranda and Lauren Cady are from one of our supporting churches in Livonia, Michigan. These two gals came down to help us this summer in conducting English classes, paint the patio and office and other ministries. We had so much fun serving together. Below I have uploaded albums (thanks to my daugher Natalie!) of our time together. We love having guests and summer time is one of the most fruitful times for us to have English classes as an outreach to our community. We would love to have English classes every summer! Pray that we soon would be in a building so that we can develop this ministry even more!


Myranda and Lauren helped our family lead English classes in one of our church families homes as an outreach. Lazaro and Idalia were so kind to allow us to move in each afternoon to conduct the classes. We packed out the house with 25-30 kids each day. Myranda did a fabulous job of sharing the Hudson Taylor missionary story in Spanish at the end of each class. We so enjoyed our English classes and agreed that we could do this fun stuff all summer long! Not sure that Lazaro and Idalia could do it all summer!





One of the things we always do with our visitors is to take them to sites around the city. This past weekend we took Myranda and Lauren downtown. We got to see the Zocalo, Latin American Tower, plus many other old churches and buildings. One highlight was watching the lowering of the Mexican flag in the town square. It is amazing to get up above the city and see how many miles the city spreads itself.




Las Estacas is a natural spring water resort. We went there with our family, our two guests along with another missions team. The place is unbelieveable! This is where they filmed the first black and white Tarzan movie way back when. The water is crystal clear. They have places to snorkel, a high dive that lets you drop down into the "hole" where the spring water pushes you back to the top after you jump in! There are also swimming pools that are filled with this unbelieveably clear and fairly warm water! The landscaping is also impeccable! I enjoyed taking snap shots of the lily pads! If you come and visit us we will have to take you to this paradise!




Here are a few fun shots from the past two weeks! We also went to the Pyramids this past Monday! God was good and it began to rain as we got in the car to return back to Mexico City!
