Hornbrooks in Mexico City: August 2011

This summer has sped by. Most of June we spent packing up our house in Mexico City getting ready for a church family to move in. We are thankful for Oscar, Araceli and Tanya. This family is lovingly taking care of our doggies as well. (at least two of them--our puppy is at another church family's home)

July 5th we arrived here in Indiana. Flying up rather than driving up is really nice. There are some draw backs. One is that we don't get to slowly adapt back to American culture. Driving up allows us three days to enjoy all the green grass, crops, etc. We also have time to adapt back to speaking in English to folks. It took us a couple of days to switch gears. Now we don't hesitate when responding. Our first thoughts aren't Spanish ones. We have also stayed busy getting the girls ready for school. I got most of their shopping taken care of before my surgery. It was a good thing since a lot of my time is spent going and doing Physical Therapy. My surgery didn't do all that we had hoped. I'm still pretty stuck but I am seeing improvement. I am continually told that no one has ever seen a more frozen shoulder than mine. Good thing God is the Great Physician and He already knows the end result and it is perfect! Sam and the girls did some traveling in July while I was recuperating. They went to Michigan and saw our dear friends at Berean Baptist Church in Livonia. They had fun touring the Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. They also went to Nappanee, Indiana. Kind of a bummer that I wasn't able to go. Thank you so much for all your prayers for our transition, health, etc. God is good and we are so blessed to have you all as our friends.
