On the road again

Hola amigos!

As the song ‘On the Road Again’ plays faintly in my head, I sit on our foam bed contemplating where we are now, while Justin sits beside me, immersed in a good book. Outside our barred window is the Bible School in Juarez. It’s a walled compound with beautiful facilities and a kitchen staff that knows how to cook a mean fajita. Up the hallway in the guys’s room, Avril Lavigne wails out an angst-ridden song on the ipod.

We arrived in Juarez, Mexico yesterday evening at about 6:30 p.m. after leaving Chilliwack at 5 a.m. It was a good day of travel – no lost bags, no delayed flights and no sickness. We came here with a missions group from Coquitlam Alliance Church and will be hiking into the Copper Canyon with them soon.

It’s good to be back to gathering the stories of life change and I’m excited about what lies ahead. From all accounts we’ve heard, God is doing incredible things through the people here in Mexico and we are thrilled we get to listen and share the stories of lives being transformed.
