Wow, tomorrow we fly into Tijuana after being in Cacalotepec for four months. I got to tell you I am the kind of guy that wears his heart on his sleeve. I have watched Leah and Jaxon grow and flurish, I have seen them fall down and get back up, I have seen them with freedom to go to and from with little to no real danger.

    Tomorrow that all changes, tomorrow brings the chapter of Cacalotepec to a close and re-opens or begins a new chapter in Rosarito. There are considerably less freedoms and my heart cries out for my children. Jaxon the three year old that ran all over with his best friend Jenny will not be able to just go out and run around on the streets in Rosarito, but he will now have a house and a deck that he can play on. Please pray for him as he adjusts back to his life in Rosarito. 

   Then there is Leah, Going to classes and doing homework and after that going home washing the dishes and then freedom to hang around with friends. At Leah's delicate age, 16 going on 17 in 8 days having so much freedom removed from her could be discouraging and difficult to handle. Leah has grown so much in her Spanish Language, people skills, she is starting to adjust to making more decisions as a young adult, but most of all she has grown spiritually. Please pray for her as she adjusts to the surroundings with tighter boundaries.

     There will be adjustments for Mari and I also, and we also ask you to pray for us. You have been such encouragement to us through your prayers that I am encouraged to know I am sending this out to so many people that will be praying for us. May God Bless each one of you.

 In Christ. 

Irvin, Mari, Leah and Jaxon.

Okay everyone we have been in Language School for the past four months. The Language School was in Cacalotepec Mexico, 40 minutes from Puerto Escondido, on the edge of the Jungle. We had some difficult times and some health issues and some great times. Overall it was a huge growing time spiritually, physically, mentally and we are better people for it. Here are some pictures and we will try to give a bit of information about each one...thanks again for all your prayers while we were away with very little communication with anyone. These first eleven pictures are of our living quarters while we were in Language School.
