It was a long 1,996 miles but we are so thankful to be here! Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement as we said goodbye to our family and friends and headed for training in Texas with To Every Tribe! Also thank you for the prayers for Dan and Clara! They got horrible food poisoning the night before we were to leave Montana from bad clam chowder. So we had an extra day in Montana while they and the clean up crew recovered. I will now follow the advise I received from some friends....... never eat clam chowder in Montana. After all it's almost 1,000 miles from the nearest ocean. Valuable advice :)
Orientation starts tomorrow and with unpacking, finding out where to buy groceries, completing a very thorough checklist of school paperwork, support letters, (please let us know if you don't get our mailing and would like to. We have new prayer magnets in the update we just sent out),meeting a lot of staff, second year students and first year students, and receiving our first assignment that is very daunting for someone who hasn't been in school for 11 years. On the other hand we have heard samples of how incredible thew training is here in the classroom and in Mexico and that is very exciting for us!
The kids are transitioning great with 30+ kids to play with. We will post more on that and the things they get to catch in another post!
So here is a picture update of our road trip and a few shots of our new (and still unfamiliar) life in Los Fresnos.

We are so thankful for all of you! We feel like God has been so faithful and he is ready to fill us like psalm 81:10!
10 I am the Lord your God,
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
This coming week is orientation week. Check back for a recap!
