People in Mexico

This family attends our church in Soledad, which is in Northern Mexico. This man is selling baskets in the beautiful town on San Miguel de Allende in Central Mexico. I would like to have one of each!

This lady attends our church in the village of Cuchicuato. I think she has a rugged beauty. The scarf sets off her high cheekbones.

These are teens at a Youth Retreat in Saltillo. Kent is in the middle of the back row. Maria is on the far right of the 2nd row.

These men are sitting around the plaza in the center of Saltillo. 30 years ago they could have been "The Marlboro Man."

Rio Bravo

Before a system for irrigation was made, the Rio Grande flooded often, the Mexicans nicknamed the river, "Rio Bravo." That's the name of this town where our other border church is. The little girl is Pastor Santiago's daughter. Is she not the cutest?!

Soledad

This is us at our church in Soledad. The top picture is Ester Luna, Pastor Homero Luna, my Dad and Mom (Leonard and Janet Sankey), us, Melodie and Marc Sankey at the Luna's home.

La Florida

Bible Methodist Missions has 3 churches within an hour of the US border. We are living in Texas while Steve goes to language school and we attend these churches. Here are a few pics of our church in La Florida. The pic of our vehicle "climbing" up a dirt path, is the road from the church to get back onto the "main" road. The path is every bit as steep as it looks, and is equally as treacherous, going down as it is going up.

I've been tagged

Michelle has "tagged" me, and since I'm bored out of my gourd, and have nothing else to do but tell you 7 random things about me, here goes:

1. I was born in Guatemala and have lived in Honduras, the US, and soon Mexico.
2. I like to be alone.
3. I join Michelle (Hight) in the trauma of seeing Tom the Turkey die so that I could eat Thanksgiving dinner in Honduras, where they've never heard of Thanksgiving. My mom (she is something else!) wielded the instrument of death and the huge galvanized washtub was full of blood. I'll never forget!
4. None of my family lives near me (south Texas). My brother is 500 miles away (Mexico). My Mom and Dad are 1400 miles away (Indiana) . And my sister is 5000 miles away (Alaska). I miss them, but I love living in Texas.
5. I think 25 is the perfect age.
6. I don't like to procrastinate.
7. I am a morning person.

September

I guess it's high time I post again. This pic was taken by Steve in San Antonio.

We are all doing well. Steve is busy learning Spanish, Kent is enduring home school, and Maria is loving GBS. I am happy.

I went to the Dentist yesterday... in Mexico ... how many of you would be anxious to do that?

Maria and Kent in her dorm room at GBS

Well, as you can see, we have our girl safely in her room at GBS. She seems to be doing ok. But, I miss her like crazy! Thank the Lord for cell phones - we are burning up the lines!
