Almost Christmas!!





We can hardly believe that our friends the Jonssons will be arriving tomorrow to spend Christmas with us. We are so excited to see these familiar faces that we have loved and missed!!! I can hardly believe well will soon be starting a new year. This has been a year of so many changes, so much growing. That sometimes I feel exhausted just thinking about it. But above all it has been a year so full of joy and peace knowing that we are right where we were created to be. What an honour to be living here in Mexico City. We have been able to adjust to our new culture and are falling in love with this monsterous city, something I never would have imagined saying a year ago. We have an interview January 5 at an Orphanage that we hope to be helping out with, please pray that God would lead us and open the doors that He would have us walk through. I didn't realize how much a dreamer I am, I am already dreaming of all the different ways we can love and serve in this orphanage. I thought of bringing down some of our Canadian teams to lead different programs and just love them, (we would translate how funny is that). Like I said I am just in dreaming stages. But I am thankful for the ability to dream! I know without hope and knowing that we have a God to whom nothing is impossible, dreaming is impossible. But praise God that we can dream and walk slowly ahead and wait for the Lord to open the path ahead of us and trust that He is directing us.

Have a great week.
love ME
