I can't believe it, I just can't believe it! Our little girl Leah is going to be 18 years old in May. Leah has plans to go back to Canada for the summer and work. After the summer is over then Leah wants to return home to Mexico and continue working as a missionary until God leads her in the direction of Bible Collage and eventually a career. My personal highlight is that on December 2nd I will be turning 50 years old.

     On December 1st we will have been full time missionaries with YUGO Ministries for a full year. Here are some highlights that will open a window to you in regards to different aspects of living here in Mexico.

     Mari is going out with three other missionary wives 5 days a week to exercise and fellowship. Mari is enjoying her time with the ladies. Mari also continues to go to the ladies Bible study every Friday morning.

     Jaxon loves going to church every Sunday, he really enjoys the Sunday School time with his friends. On Fridays Jaxon goes with Mari to her Bible study and plays with his friends. Jaxon is doing very well here in Mexico.

     I have been busy here in Mexico. With visiting pastors, working with feeding kitchens, working on sending out donations that come in. Meeting with pastors before teams teams come out and then follow up with pastors after the teams leave and now teaching a 4 hour Pastor and Leaders course every Saturday. It is exciting and I would like to extend an invitation to anyone that would like to come out and spend a week with our family, we would love to have you.

      We are so very thankful for all of our prayer and financial support, and as I say that I just would like to update you on our financial situation.  Our monthly personal support has been good and steady over this our first year as YUGO missionaries. Our expenses have increased which has brought our "reserve" account that is there to pull us through the low support months and ministry expenses

       I would like to thank those who have partnered with us through prayer and finances this past year. I would like to ask that you continue to pray for our family and if you are not partnering with our family financially, would you  prayerfully consider partnering with us monthly or yearly?.

God Bless
Irv, Mari, Leah and Jaxon Penner
