I told you there were spiders in the cupboards...

We understand that the file of the video we posted of our home last time was a bit large for some of your computers to download so we decided to take some pictures instead and assume that they will download easier - let us know how it works!

The black widow, found by Roxie, our dog, in the hallway of our house, confirms that we need to be a little more careful when we reach down to pick something up off the floor or put on our shoes - no concerns so far.

We discovered the other day while in Chihuahua that homeschooling is against the law here in Mexico so the folks in the church are quite taken/skeptical about this thing we are doing. However, they also admit that their public school system leaves much to be desired and so perhaps there was some envy mixed in as well, who knows? All we know is that our kids are doing great in school this year and yet sometimes get a little bored because there are so few kids they have connected with due to some reasons we've talked about before. Sandy is, however, doing a great job of keeping them occupied with games, projects, listening to CD stories and so on.

We were gone from our "home" church here in Cuauhtemoc for the last two weeks so we are all looking forward to being there this coming Sunday. I get to preach again!

Tonight we are having our small group Bible study again - pray for us as we connect with Mario & Edna, the couple that needs to come to know the Lord! Tomorrow we are having Don & Minna in our home for supper - we are looking forward to that. They are also bringing along some mail that came in to El Paso - we are also looking forward to that.

Speaking of mail, Andrew received two birthday cards in the mail this week - thanks Grandma Katie and Auntie Audrey! They only took around 2 weeks to get here - pretty awesome!

Have a wonderful weekend!
