A bit of time in Mexico...

While we were home, we were able to run down into Mexico for a few days with Barry (from YWAM Chico, who we worked with running the Mexico trips for a few years before coming to Australia) to visit our old ministry - it was so great!!!  We got to see our many friends, visit some families we have been missing, spend a bit of time at the orphanage (and Sierra got to see "her" kids in the Day Home) and help out with a house build.  Our wonderful friends from the Virginia group welcomed us with open arms (and a good joke or two)...what a blessing to see everyone!  Thanks again!

Too many people live in these sort of conditions - no bathroom, no electricity, no running water...

Some of our friends from Virginia - the all-girl build team, aka - Laughing Dog Farms.  Love the pink, ladies!

Dinnertime!  Imagine having to cook for your family like this every night...
