Wild Week of Changes...

This past week we had the opportunity to help a construction team from Virginia to put a roof onto a church. We had a blast and feel very blessed to have been able to work with them.

Wow, have we been going through lots of changes here in Monterrey!

Our plan is to be back around Easter Sunday. We have a lot of mixed emotions on returning, especially earlier than we had planned. Sometimes, we get excited about the thought of seeing our families, friends, church (a new one too!) and even the streets we used to drive on. (The roads here are crazy!) But at the same time, we feel nervous about experiencing the intense culture shock that every missionary goes through during re-entry. We are scared of possible rejection and worried we won't fit in where we used to because we have grown SO much! Most of the worries are from the enemy but I think some is natural too.

We have lots of ministry options in southern Mexico from all of the relationships established during our outreach. Even while we will be back in Minnesota, we have options for ministry. We have an opportunity in RVC South to help in starting a Celebrate Recovery ministry there. We will be able to focus on ministry while we are back in the States, and it will better equip us for leadership for our future. Levi will be working on his pastoral credentials too.

We believe God has orchestrated all of this to happen. We are going to use this time to seek His will, to pray, to heal, work on selling the rest of our things, raise finances, and to regroup while spending time with family and friends.

Please pray for us:

• Preparation for re-entry


• A safe drive home


• Kelly's family
