 Dear Faithful Supporters,

 Well, we made it to Mexico .  It was a hectic December getting ready to come but we made it.  God has been so good to us.  He took care of everything as we prepared to come here.  First, even though we are under supported, God supplied enough for us to be able to come.  He also supplied a van for us to drive down in at an unbelievable price.  In November, we were at a missions conference in Delaware in which we met another missionary with UFM, who lives in Puebla , Mexico where we will be going after language school.  He gave us the name of a missionary family with CAM in Cuernavaca , where we are in language school.  I contacted them through e-mail, and they told us of another family that was driving down to Mexico City at the same time that we were planning to drive down.   We were able to come down with them.  They were a huge help in crossing the border, and they even helped us to get through Mexico City without any problems to Cuernavaca.  When we arrived in Cuernavaca, the missionaries already had an appointment set up for us to see some houses, and we were able to find a two bedroom house with a little yard for Josh to play in on the same day that we arrived.  We have such a great God who loves us and is at work in our daily lives.

 The trip took six days to get from Kokomo, IN to Cuernavaca, Mexico.  Joshua was terrific!  He didn’t complain at all.  Every night when we would get to the hotel, he would ask, “Are we in Mexico?”  He is having a little bit of a rough time adjusting to living here, though, because of all of the changes.

 Caleb didn’t do as well on the trip.  He slept a lot in the car, but he got off his schedule and didn’t sleep at night.  He still isn’t back on his schedule yet, but we are trying.

 We start language school this week.  Susan is going to take classes for three or four weeks, then Bryan will take class for a week.  We will rotate for the duration of our stay here.

 Please pray for us as we adjust to Mexico and language school.  Please also pray for opportunities to minister while we are here.  Pray for Salvador and his son Salvador, our neighbors, as we attempt to share the gospel with them.

 Thank you for all of your prayers and support.  We couldn’t be here without you.
