Playing in the Snow



Yes, we did! God has blessed us with a gift to go visit friends and family in Winnipeg. The children and I (Sophie) went for a little over two weeks. It was good. We all needed to be refreshed and to be around familiar things, sounds and people we love and who love us.

Philip stay back in Mexico. He traveled to the interior to prepare for an upcoming group and built a house for a new Mustard Seed family with the winter Texans.

Tomorrow we will be travelling as a family to go visit my sister in Taxco, Mexico. Along the way we will stop in Altamira, close to Tampico, where we will be moving shortly. It is about a 5 hour drive from where we presently live. We hope to locate a suitable place to move to.

There, we will be doing the ground work for short term mission groups and we will also work with some local Churches to start the Mustard Seed Program in that region.

John and Julie (from Church of the Rock) have been here for a month now. Julie is actively involved in helping Karen with the office work. They are a blessing to the ministry. As an accountant, Julie can help make the necessary changes and adjustments to prepare for expansion.
And, in spite of his fragile foot, John is helping Phil with construction projects. Phil says he won't say when it hurts, but we can tell. Please pray for his complete healing. He also has been visiting Pastors.

Together, they have been visiting families from the Mustard Seed Program in Matamoros and learning about the overall work of the ministry.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.

N.B. Philip's paternal grandfather passed away this morning, joining his wife in heaven. Pray for the family.
