I do my best to inform our donors and inspire others to be actively involved in global youth ministry, and I want you to help me get the word out about what we’re doing.
So, for a limited time (until we run out), I want to send you five free postcards for you to use to spread the word about our family and ministry.
All you have to do is send me your mailing address by email at drpoulette(at)gmail(dot)com or comment here and I’ll send you postcards.
When you get your postcards, you can send them to your friends and people you think might be interested in knowing about us. You’ll get to get in touch with old friends, and you’ll spread the word about God is doing in Latin America through our family and ministry. It’s a win-win situation for all of us.
What are you waiting for? Comment here or send me an email!

Being back in the United States for us as missionaries is sometimes an awkward time.
For example, when people ask us where we’re from, we don’t have a great answer because we’re from more than one place. Even in our own hometown in Florida, we have trouble explaining where we’re from. “Home” is two different places. Going “home” depends on where we’re currently located.
People automatically assume you’re on vacation. They don’t realize that you are connecting with donors, speaking at churches, trying to find new donors, and continuing to work on your other job in your field (for me, I’m still preparing for classes at the Seminary and making plans for our programs there).
It’s also pretty funny when we get excited about some new product that’s been out on the market for a while but is new to us because we’ve been away. It’s especially funny when the product is food in the grocery store.
The good news is we finally bought our tickets to go back to Mexico! We leave from Miami on September 18. The awkward time of being in the States is coming to a close. Now comes the awkward time of transitioning back into our life in Mexico.

The other day, Nathan and I were playing and he said, “I miss Mexico.” He loves being in Florida with his family, but there are times when he misses Mexico, too.
We’ve been in the US since early June, and we’re all missing some things.
Here are the things I’m missing about Mexico.
- Our home – there’s just something about having your own space. Nathan definitely misses his toys and his room in Mexico. I miss having my own space, too.
- Seminary students – I miss hanging out with my students and seeing them everyday. I also miss just working at the seminary. I’m sad that I’m missing orientation week next week. I want to meet the new students.
- The park in our neighborhood – we’ve got a great little park that is two streets away from our house. It’s like having our own park with a gigantic slide (picture), swings (video), and some green space to play in.
- The weather – Contrary to popular belief, it’s not always hot in Mexico City. In fact, the weather in Mexico City is much better than the weather in Florida. I miss the cooler air, and I’m looking forward to getting back to it.
- Our church – We go to PIB Satelite (First Baptist of Satelite), a large church that meets at the Seminary campus. I miss attending and also participating in the youth ministry there. I’m hoping we can be more involved there when we go back.
The good news is that we finally have a date to go back. We’ll be flying out of Miami on September 18.
We got Benjamin and Nathan a new ride. We’ve only taken it out once so far, but they both seemed to like it.
