I hear things are fantastic in Mexicali! Every time I see a picture, my heart both jumps with excitement to see you all doing so well and then feels a twinge of sadness that I am not there with you. I am so incredibly proud of each and every one of you!!!

Make sure you give Jeff, Jason, and Chris some extra love today and let them know they are doing a great job! Give Andrea support, love, and an extra taco as her head is probably swimming in some random mix of Enlish and Spanish…it probably hurts too! Give Dale and the build team extra encouragement…I am sure they are exhausted. Tell Matt that everything will be fine on Thursday and to wait one more day to start stressing about it and love yoir team!

Speaking of teams, how is it going?? Are you holding leader meetings? Have you assessed your day and talked about room for improvement? Are you going in with a halpy heart? Look for God and follow His lead!

In news from home, things here are great. Zachariah is doing well …he is even finally eating more and sleeping a bit less. Nathaniel is sharing all of his toys with “baby brother” and has almost learned not to put the toys on brother’s head while sharing them. :) Jeff, he misses you! And, in the most random news of all, Nathaniel is TERRIFIED of the movie Frozen. Anyone that can explain that one gets a free taco on Chris…either Chris. :)

We can’t wait to see you at the hotel! Zachariah sleeps one more hour than the roosters, so that should be good. :)

Lots of love from home,
Amy

What a blessing you are to all those you are with. May you be blessed too!! Rachel and Sarah, I think of you all the time. Kate and I miss you and are so proud of and happy for you. Know that you are loved and we can’t wait to see you later this week. The last update was Saturday, it’s now Monday!! We are really struggling here waiting on information. We are forced to wait in our homes with beds, bathrooms, kitchens, environmental controls, not to mention nearly every other comfort. It’s really not fair;) Just a little levity. May God bless you all!!

Tell him how proud of him we are and that even though he’s thousands of miles away, we are always with him. Lord, bless Christopher and all of his fellow God-loving servants. May he spread his love and understanding to all those in need. Amen. We love you Chris.

What a blessing you are and we are so proud of you!!! I pray the roosters let you sleep in tomorrow so you can be fresh for your next big day, love the Ovesens

How was your first day at your sites? How many children have you fallen in love with? For those who went to MRAV, how was it?? Mackenzie H., did you get to see Johnny today? How many kids did you guys squeeze into the van at the park site? Jason, did you see Angel and scream his name obnoxiously like you always do??

Praying that you all are experiencing God in all that you do. What a great way for team Cuernavacians to not only witness to the park site but to also witness to the other students that are working with Team Stephen!

I love and miss you all and am SO SO SO excited for this next week!

Chris, please take my Jason on a date for me tonight in the market for some tacos. Maybe even include a good night kiss to him for me?

Dios te Bendiga Octane!!
