Saying Goodbye

Maria spent the summer with us here in Mexico. It was so nice for the 4 of us to be together as a family again. While she was here she made some special friendships with the young people in Saltillo. Below are some pictures of her last night at church.

Meli, Noemi, Kent, Maria, Carla and Cesia.


Carla, Maria, Jose Luis, and Meli.


Teresa and her friend with Maria.


Alonso and Maria.

Now she is on her way back to God's Bible School in Cincinnati to continue her college education. We are sad to be without her, but are happy she is seeking God's will in her life.

She's still too little to be "on her own", I think. :)

I've been thinking of you all and her time for school to be starting. I know your hearts are torn. Thank you for being our hands extended to those precious people there in Mexico. Your sacrifice has not gone unnoticed.

Hooray! I'm sad for you that you'll be without Maria, but I am really looking forward to having her back with me in the office! :-)

How'd camp go? Are you going to post about it?

I don't guess we'll see Maria. Because of the paving of the church parking lot there was no prayer meeting tonight, and Kathy and I will be away on the weekend, and I suppose right after that Maria will be in Cincinnati. Such is life!

I tried to pinch her cheeks b/c she and Joe are so cute. :-D
