It is amazing to be able to serve with my family here in Ensenada, Mexico. To be part of the YWAM community, working together and making a difference in this city. To see my husband eager to serve others each day, looking for ways to help and always available when others need something. To meet local families, to love and encourage them, and to be able to help the teams build them a home.
Last month we were able to receive my parents in our home and go to Disneyland for two days. It was SO fun to have them see where we live and to get to spend some time with them. We also welcomed two of our friends from Minnesota in our home for a week and enjoyed having them over.
I would like to share a prayer request with all of you. Most of you I have already contacted, and we appreciate the love, support and prayers we have received. On this past Friday, Danny's mom was in a serious car accident where her car hit loose gravel, spun out, flipped and rolled 60 feet down the embankment and stopped when it hit a tree. (Info via friend's Facebook page.)
She had to pay the government for repairs on the road and to pick up the wrecked car after being towed. Thankfully, so far it looks like she only has one broken rib and one fractured one. She was in a lot of pain, but sounded better when we talked to her. It is amazing to see everyone who has stood by us with prayer and those who have helped out financially. It is truly a blessing to see God use all of you!
Rita asked that we come and be with her for an extended period over Christmas instead of making two trips (one now, and one right after Christmas). So we will be going down south for Christmas, Ian's 1st birthday, and New Year's. We hope as well to see about getting Danny's sister, who is in the middle east, home in time for Christmas. She would stay home for a handful of months to be with their mom as she recovers.
Please pray with us that God takes care of all the rest of the financial needs for our family. That Danny's sister is able to get a plane ticket home in time for us to all travel down together. As well that Danny's mom Rita will be able to rest comfortably and that she will enjoy having family around her.
