Trip to Poza Rica

Last week we went to visit Sam's dad in Poza Rica.  It had been awhile since we were there.  Dad  appears to be adjusting to this new chapter of life. We were able to do some jobs around the house.  Sam Sr. is hoping to relocate in Poza Rica.  He would like to downsize and move closer to church.  There is a house next door to the church that is available but right now the owner isn't willing to lower the price.  The house would need some work.  We went and saw Ellen's grave site.  Dad ordered a nice gravestone that is an open bible.  Continue to pray for Sam Sr.  We will be leaving for our furlough July 5th and won't be able to visit him here in Mexico for another year.  He is wanting to fly up for Thanksgiving and we are encouraging him to fly up and visit his kids this summer if he can get his move made.  The church family are really helping Dad in every facet of life.  We will have to rely on them to help Dad pack up and make the move.  We are very thankful for God's Family!

Here Sam Jr., Nicole and Sam Sr. are harvesting mangos from one of the three trees that Dad has.

Looking at Mom's grave marker.

 

 

Philipians 1:21  For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.

The grave sites of others near Mom.

 Mom's grave marker is a great testimony to those that will come and visit the grave yard.  I was very saddened to see the other markers.  Some of the sites had flags of their favorite soccer team.  Who cares what team you are for?

We love you Dad!
