We Are Here!

We are here in Mexico and finally have internet after two weeks! We had a wonderful trip coming here. We definitely felt all the prayers and the Lord's hand through it all. When we arrived in Guadalajara we did not have to go through any customs. They did not check any of our bags nor did they even stamp our passports. I know, pretty crazy! We had to men helping us pushing all of our crates as well as Darin pushing one and me pushing a stroller with bags in the stroller, Cooper sitting on top of the stroller and me carrying Avery in the sling. When we came out of the sliding doors and seeing David and Bowden Haynes waving at us we were so surprised. We thought that surely someone was chasing us down to rip open one of our bags. But NO, that was it. We were there! It was so amazing. So thank you so much for your prayers.

Cooper has started school and seems to really be enjoying it. He is the only little white boy and then on top of that they called him by his middle name the entire first day of school. We usually say "Cooper Ross" when he is in trouble so I hope he didn't think he was in trouble all day at school hearing "Ross" but he seemed alright with it.

We have a very nice house! It is a three bedroom, two story house. We have a skylight on the steps. The first night we were here we were greeted with the other team members and they fixed us supper. It was so sweet and tasted incredible. Well it started to pour and the team members were rushing out because the roads flood so easy. Well I was upstairs with the kids and starting to come down the steps holding Avery and Cooper walking in front of me. Then I fell! Yep, our skylight had a leak. There isn't a light on our steps so I couldn't see the big puddle on one of the steps. Well me and Avery went down about three steps, but thankfully she didn't get hurt at all. She was just very scared! Then I saw the look on Cooper's face and tears in his eyes because he was scared of what happened. Then it made me sad! So there was me, Cooper and Avery all sitting in the hall just crying! Darin wasn't sure what to think when he came out of the bathroom. Thank the Lord though Matt (one of the team members) came over and helped us fix the leak and it is all better now.

Only thing that has happened then is Avery bumping her head into a stair, leaning her head into a table corner and then running into a wall. Not much we can fix there except maybe getting her glasses though!

We are all doing very well and just wanted to give you a little update on Mexico. The Lord has blessed us with the Haynes family! They are just amazing. Also have been blessed with great team members. We are so excited to see what the Lord holds for us here in Guadalajara.

I will post pictures soon but please remember that I was behind and now even more behind so the pictures will be from June! But will try to catch up fast to get some from here in Mexico. So be sure to check back possible daily, alright, maybe every other day for some updates so I can get caught up.

Thanks for the prayers and we miss everyone of you!
