What a great sight to see....

In this picture, you can see an "Agua Potable" truck...how wonderful it is to see this truck and to hear its sounds coming down the street! For this is how our neighbor receives her water and then we get to carry our buckets to the house for clean water! woo hoo!

However, we are currently in the process of having our very own water tank....so no more bucket carrying! Thank you Lord! Now, well in a month or so, we will be able to turn the knob on something inside the house...and out will come water! What a wonderful thing I took for granted while back in the States!

What have we been doing..

We have been tutoring students in their homework. We have around 21 students signed up for classes and we average 10-12 students per day. The subjects range from Spanish, Mathmatics, English, Physical Science...you name it and we are trying to teach it. Well, mostly Narcizo is trying to teach it. I am helping the small children with their Spanish...and learning a little in the process. We occasionally have students come who need help with their English so I can help out then. We are planning to start a Saturday class for 3 hours in the morning for those who want to come to learn English only.

Please be in prayer for us as we both know we can share the Light with all who come into our home. Pray that God will continue to work through us and give us opportunities.

And oh yes, I have been learning to cook. Not only learning to cook...but learning to cook Mexican foods. What a blessing it was that my sister Teresa bought me a cookbook for Christmas...."1000 Mexican recipes" - now that has come in handy! Here you see Chile Rellenos, pinto beans, and of course...tortillas. We all know that every Mexican household has to have beans, tortillas, and homemade salsa...right? By the way, this may not look too good to you....but boy, was it delicious!

Cooking is slow here because everything is natural and fresh. This has been the biggest change in my "cooking life"! Ladies, just think about it...when you cook a meal, any meal, how many times do you cook without using anything from a box, a can, a package, etc? just think about it! You will be amazed. I have emailed my mom and sister in law for help...."how do I cook without boxes and cans? and How do you make tomato paste...it has always come in a small can." By the way, my sister in law Anita got a good laugh out of my request since she has always cooked with fresh products. She has actually had to learn how to cook with cans and boxes and packets.

Oh well, such is life...full of changes....and I see they are all opportunities to learn more! Thank you Lord for spicing up our life with changes!

You can pray for me as I continue to learn and especially pray for Narcizo as he has to endure the results....:-)

Well, here we are...

It's been a little over two months since we have been here in Mexico as newlyweds, getting settled in. Wow!! The Lord has really blessed us in many, many ways. Some of you know we have a story to tell, others may think you know, only to find out there is so much more the Lord has done for us and to us. Praise the Lord! We will begin to write the story that He wrote for us long before we knew each other and we will share it with you soon!

For now....enjoy the photos and comments on what we (or I mostly) have been experiencing in this HUGE change in my life. I thank the Lord for preparing me for this...by changing my heart, by changing my mind, and by changing my love for the things He has prepared for me.
