Great Company and Sweet Fellowship

Greetings from Mexico! I pray that while reading this, you are encouraged and blessed today.

Last week, I received a message from Yuvi Cadenhead that she and her family were coming down to talk about the VBS this summer in Tepeyac and Nava, and I was so excited to have them come to visit.

Maria and Socorro planned a meal and went to get all the fixin’s to feed the group and our church family here at our house.

Greg Goza and Ford and Donna Cole were with the group when they arrived on Friday afternoon. They brought a swing set down and set it up in our yard, for kids and adults to enjoy.

We enjoyed a meal of pollo guisado, ranch-style beans with bacon and chilis, fried potatoes, potato salad, homemade flour tortillas and corn tortillas, steamed rice, and three milk cake to celebrate Lucero’s 16^th birthday. It was so fun to have everyone here. Blas and his sister, Cecilia, Agustina and her grandson, Abraham and Maria’s children joined us. We had a sweet time and everyone enjoyed seeing our house, a work in progress. What a blessing it was to see my neighbors, Jose and Guadalupe sitting on the swing set, enjoying it after the group left on Friday afternoon. Jose said that when he can’t find his wife, he’ll come to see if she’s here on the swing set because she like s it so much.

They had to head back before dark, but returned the next morning to pick me up to travel to Nava on Saturday morning. These pictures are from our visit to Nava. We had a great time and they made us a wonderful meal. It was a blessing to spend some time with these saints.

That afternoon we headed back to Tepeyac, and the group dropped me off while we said our goodbyes until their next visit. It was a wonderful two days with friends.

I pray this little update encourages you and that God gives you the desires of your heart as you seek His face.

In His loving grip,

Toni and Bill
