 Hello everyone, the snow has fallen here in Saskatoon and it looks like it is here for the winter. Jaxon has spent hours playing outside in the snow with Leah. This Sunday (November 18) we are getting together with Mari's family for an early Christmas celebration and then the very next day my sister is having us over for another Christmas celebration.

             Our family would like to encourage you with the following message we received from Nathan and Scott of YUGO Ministries. I will share more with you about our upcoming drive back to Mexico after you read the message from Scott and Nathan.

           " Wonderful news on reaching your full support level. I congratulate you on taking all the necessary steps to come to the Mission Field equipped for successful service.  I am confidant the Kingdom of God will further expand & thrive thanks to your partnership with YUGO Ministries in Mexico. On behalf of the YUGO Family of missionaries on the field in Mexico, Nathan Alpert & I officially welcome you into active service."

             Mari, Leah, Jaxon and I want to thank you for all your prayers that you prayed for our travel this summer as we drove through Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, sharing what God has called our family to in Mexico. The prayers for Leah's health, which at this time is once again doing great, Leah is back to her morning exercises and back to her daily routine of home school also.

            Our trek back to Mexico begins on November 26th at around 7:00 A.M. and here is a link to our countdown clock, something we just did for fun to watch as the days, hours, minutes and seconds go by.    http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20121126T07&p0=1227&msg=MEXICO+MISSIONS+&csz=1  

             We leave Saskatoon and travel to Havre Montana as day one of our drive, Day two we leave Havre Montana and travel to Pocatello Idaho, Day three we leave Pocatello and drive to Mesquite Nevada, and then Day four we leave Mesquite and drive back to Rosarito Mexico. As you prayed for our family this summer we ask you to pray for our family again as we prepare to travel and as we travel.

             As you continue to partner with us through your prayers and finances let's always keep the kingdom work as our number one priority in our partnership. 

                 May God bless each one of you!!

    Mari and I will send out one more update on Sunday November 25th the day before we leave... 

God Bless
Irv, Mari, Leah and Jaxon Penner
