Back from Mexico

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for all your prayers and love! We returned yesterday, Friday, from our two weeks in Oaxaca, Mexico. We went into the mountains in Western Oaxaca where our team is at. We brought in two doctors and a nurse and well as a dentist and all of the students this year that learned how to find, clean and fill cavities. It was a VERY busy time! We saw over 500 people from 6 villages in this area. I was able to help the dentist with training the students and assisting them as they did their first hands on dental work on the people. Gerry, the dentist, spent most of the time extracting teeth. Michele helped at the sign in table with writing down information and helping to send the people to the doctor or to the dental area. It was busy seeing those 500 + people and hearing what they needed.

Please pray for the team that is down in that area (Chris Berger, Jim Blomstrand and Reuben & Debbie Ibanez and their two kids). They are hoping to get into this village to live regularly and help teach English as well as live and preach the Gospel to this dark area! Pray they get in soon. The village leader and President has given the team an invitation to come live and teach English to the village. This is the first step!

Please continue to pray for us. Michele and I really enjoyed the time in the village and being back in Mexico. Please pray for a team to be formed with us to go down to Oaxaca and for wisdom and direction and how to work in the village in that area as well as looking for another area that is unreached to begin working with. We will be heading down for a week Dec 27-Jan 7 as well as 4-5 weeks in February - March.

Thank you again for all your love and prayers and support!
