As I write dusk has fallen. We had supper out on the covered porch and watched the mountains slowly fade, backlit by the setting sun. The humidity increases daily. By summer it will be all but unbearable.
Living cross culturally is always interesting, often exciting, sometimes frustrating. We realized years ago that we must not judge these wonderfully warm people by our standards. Why should our standards, developed in another culture and another climate, be the standards of the Mexicans we ask? Still, we come up against the differences almost daily and find ourselves often puzzled. We'll probably never get it all figured out but we're having fun trying.
My husband and I are missionaries in the state of Sonora. We are working under Missionary Gospel Fellowship and our job is to facilitate struggling pastors in any way we can. We also are developing a video and literature ministry. Besides all that we offer short term missions opportunities to Seniors and Families [at separate times]. We have a number of accommodations on our property and if those Mexicans or Missionaries in fulltime ministry need a rest, we offer them a place to get away from it all.
This blog will mostly be about the great things about Mexico, the things that aren't so great and the things that happen daily that I think might be of interest to those interested in us or our ministry.
