On The Run

Hello!

Thought we'd give you a quick update about what we've been up to...

We moved into our own apartment last week! We are very excited! It is a 2 bedroom apartment with lots of room for visitors...We are going to be hosting some of our smaller groups in the apartment.

The cost of the apartment is a little much for us, but God is faithful! We had no furniture for this place...in the last month He has provided us with a kitchen table and chairs (donated by a church), a bed (donated by another ministry), even dishes for our kitchen (thanks to Derek's Aunt Dorothy & Uncle Leonard)...It's cool to see how God has provided, because these people didn't know that we were moving and in need of these things!!

We have been busy with groups...

• Derek is working with a group of retired men from Manitoba. He takes them into Mexico 2 or 3 days per week to do various building projects...they are currently building a home for a family, and putting an addition on a church.
• Had a group from Houston come and work with the Mustard Seed Program
• Have a group coming from Winnipeg, MB next week. We are going into the interior of Mexico to build a church and do some evangelism to help support a local pastor
• I (Jo) have had the opportunity to take 2 families from Canada to visit the children that they sponsor. It's a neat opportunity for me...and good spanish practice because I need to do some of the translating!!

Busy, busy...but having a great time...Well, I'm off...I have to get outside and stain bunkbeds (I'm procrastinating!)
