We finally switched to the email management system called Mail Chimp to send out our email newsletters. It was getting too difficult to manage the subscriptions to it, and using Mail Chimp makes it easier for you to sign up, change your email address, or even unsubscribe from our list (not sure why anyone would want to do that).
Tomorrow is the first issue that will go out using the new format (sign up here or below). You have the option of receiving the pretty, HTML styled version or the plain old text version. Either way, we hope it helps you pray for our family as we live in Mexico City and work in Latin America.
We send out an email newsletter about once every two weeks with all the latest information about what is happening in our family and ministry as we live and work in Mexico City.
If you would like to be "in the know" about our ministry to train youth workers in Latin America, please fill out the form below and we’ll add you to our list.
We promise to never sell your email address to anyone and to respect your privacy.
Every March, the weather gets nice enough to play in the sprinkler in our little bitty yard. Nathan loves it. So, in 2007, I took a picture of him playing. Then I took another one last year. I compared the two here. Remember that?
Well, take a look at the difference from last year to this year. Nathan has grown up so much this year.
Nathan had just said it to me, and then I got to thinking about that phrase in another way.
Imagine how us expressing our love to God makes Him feel. If I can feel so good hearing Nathan tell me that He loves me, my worship must make God feel great.
Crawling up next to our Heavenly Father and telling Him, “Daddy, I love you,” has to be a great feeling for Him. Especially if we don’t do it out of obligation or to see what “special favor” He will do for us. When we say that phrase as a genuine expression of our love for Him, it is true worship.
It’s no secret that I love going to special places with my family. Today we went on a picnic in Chapultepec Park and then went to the zoo.
Chapultepec Park is lined with kiosk type things where people sell lots of things…bubbles, snacks, soccer jerseys, hats, t-shirts, and other things.
On our way into the zoo, Nathan saw a Batman mask and cape that he wanted. We told him that if he was a good boy, we’d get it for him. The price was definitely right (40 pesos = $2.70 USD), so we bought it on the way out.
I posted the following video to 12seconds.tv. It’s Nathan in his new Batman suit, but I think the audio is my favorite part. So turn up your speakers and listen!
Every once in a while I have a deep desire to take my family somewhere special. It’s a time to get away from the demands of ministry and just play together.
We have a few places that are special to our family. We go to the Mexico City zoo a lot, and today we added a new place to our list of special places. Six Flags Mexico is somewhere I hope to visit a lot in the future.
We had a blast. Nathan rode his first roller coaster, and we enjoyed some great entertainment. Hopefully, for a long time I’ll remember him running to me after getting off the roller coaster and asking me to go with him.
One of my favorite parts was watching the Looney Toons show where they sang a lot of American music with Spanish accents. It was definitely entertaining. Watch this video to the end, and you’ll see the Looney Toons show. I hope you laugh as much as I did.
I love how Nathan and Benjamin love each other. Every time Nathan gets near Benjamin, Ben laughs his little head off. Nathan is such a good big brother, too. I hope they stay like this.
Janell recorded this video the other day, and I think it’s so cool how they get along. I’m sure the days will come when they don’t like each other, but at least this moment is preserved for all time.
