DAY 2 NOVEMBER 29th

Hey there everyone:
     Drove in Montana, Utah, Idaho, Arizona and we are in Nevada now at Virgin River Casino and Hotel. Another 11 hour drive today, a little more tired today than yesterday after the drive. Looks like we will be in Mexico tomorrow sometime. 
    Thank you for all of your prayers, we have had great highways and beautiful weather for driving so far. Please pray for our safety as we drive and for another day of great weather for us.

Tomorrow we are off to Tijuana and Rosarito Mexico I just wanted to update 


you on some prayer requests we have for day 3.


1. For safe travel with good roads and good weather, that the wildlife would 


stay in the fields, ditches, mountains and off the highways.

2. For Mike and I as we drive, to make wise decisions on the crowded highways 



and in the busy cities.


3. For a good and easy crossing into Mexico, that we can get across without 


being pulled over.

Thanks again and God Bless!!

November 28th Day One Drive towards Mexico

Hello there everyone!!
     You know how when you are excited about something you can not sleep as you usually would. Well it was no different for me Sunday night, but not only was it myself that was going through this, my friend Mike who I am travelling with had the same kind of night.
     I was up at 4:00 A.M. and just could not get back to sleep so I just made sure that everything was packed up, and just sat around because I told Mike I would pick him up at 7:30 A.M. I left the house early, went and sat outside A&W in Martensville for 45 minutes until they opened and picked up a bacon and egger for Mike and I.
    I got to Langham where Mike was staying at 7:30 on the nose, when Mike got in the car he said that he was up at 4:00 A.M. and sent me a message on facebook that if I was up we could leave then. Go figure the one day I do not go on my computer when I am up we could have left 3 hours sooner....
    We had a great day one!! The weather was great, the roads were great, we made it to Butte, Montana a 11 hour drive. Your prayers have made a difference, please keep praying as we continue tomorrow morning.


     There were many opportunities to take pictures as we drove, above are just a few of them..
   
Tomorrow we are off to Mesquite, Nevada I just wanted to update you on some 


prayer requests we have for day 2.




1. For safe travel with good roads and good weather, that the wildlife would 

stay in the fields, ditches, mountains and off the highways.

2. For Mike and I to be alert as we drive, and that we will know when to call it a 

day.

3. Mountain driving tomorrow so for super great weather for travelling.

Thanks again and God Bless!!

Irvin is leaving for Mexico

The car is packed, and in the morning Mike and I head for Mexico. Day one from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada to Butte, Montana, United States. According to the Google Maps it is 1,071 Kilometers or 665 Miles which is according to Google Maps a 12 hour drive before food and bathroom stops.
       Thank-You for your prayers as we travel, and please remember to pray for Mari, Leah and Jaxon as they are in Canada until December 13th when they fly out to meet me in San Diego and bring them back to Mexico with me. Jaxon seems to be having the hardest time with everything so please add some extra time in prayer for him....I will update again soon...

Warman Saskatchewan

     Hello there again, it has been a bit since my last post here. Here is the update thus far. We packed everything in a u-haul and set out to Warman, Sakatchewan on October 27th at 10:30 A.M. and arrived in Warman at 4:30 P.M.
     We have moved into Mari's mothers basement for the month of November. Myself and Mike McDonald will set out on our drive to Mexico on or around November 26th and arrive in Mexico December 3rd. Mike's family and my family will fly down at later dates.
     Mari and I would appreciate your prayers concerning safe travel, good health and the spiritual (prayer) and financial support we need to stay in Mexico once we are there.
     At this time neither Mari or myself are working as we prepare for the move to Mexico and we are open to going out to your homes, or out for coffee, or come into your churches to share more about what we will be doing in Mexico.
    It is getting closer and we are looking forward to what God is going to do as we team together with you as His hands, feet, eyes and ears in Mexico for His Kingdom.
    God Bless you all, and thank you for your loving prayers and financial support.
         Irvin, Mari, Leah and Jaxon Penner
