Good Morning Honey hope all is going well with you. I trust you had a safe trip. I miss you already but am looking forward to your return and hearing all about what you did. Take pictures – you know how I am. Make sure you’re staying healthy, too. Love always and everywhere, Mary
Mary,
Yes we all maded it safely and all of the meds came through customs. Got to the base at about 12 last night. Started day at 6am. We are on schedule with all houses. Got 4 started today. Love you too. Glad Z’s thing went OK. Got back to base at 6:15 local time. I drove one of the vans today. Love you much. Keep me updated. Tell all that w’re doing good. Love you. Scott
Scott,
Glad to hear all went well on the way down. Driving a van????? Now I need to pray harder. Had an interesting day with Z, but all is ok.
Love you,
Mom and Dad, too
Driving a van in a foreign country???? Hum!!! How are you feeling? Doesn’t sound like you are getting any rest. Please becareful. Managed to get ZZ sample to the doc to have checked I’ll keep you posted on that. Enjoy your trip. Miss you tons. Love always and everywhere, Mary
Mary,
You’re right, not a lot of sleep. We were up at 5am local time today got the houses mostly done. Paint and House roofs tomorrow. Yes, I’m taking pictures. Love you tons. Have a great one.
Scott
Hey Scott, I hear your dragging down the team because of some pancreas excuse or something like that. Guess I should have been there to keep an eye on you.
Are you guys going to need a trailer in Detroit to haul suitcases back or will there be room in the vans? Let me know so we can plan ahead.
Have a great week! Rich
Hey Rich,
yes, we will need the trailer as Sue and Nate will also be riding back with us to West MI, so I’m thinking it’s most likely that we’ll need it. Thanks Rich. Scott
Morning Honey,
Sounds like you are not getting a lot of rest but accomplishing a lot. That is so very awesome. Things are BORING at the moment – which I am very thankful for. Ladies are coming over tonite after work. Looking forward to your return. Love always and everywhere, Mary
hello all,
What can I say, today was an amazing day as we finished the houses In addition, 3 of 4 families accepted Christ as their personal lord and savior. The one that did not, was already a christian family, but they had a mother there that was not and she accepted Christ into her life. In addition in one of the other homes, a grandmother had her daughter there and she accepted Christ as well.
Mary,
I’m glad things are “boring” as home, I like it that way. I hope all is going well with you. I cannot what to share with you in person. I miss you and the boys. I hope your evening went well with the ladies. Tell Nikolas and ZZ I miss them. I don’t know about the boots for Nikolas, as the place they used to do them at is not here now. Any Suggestions? Tell Mom and Dad, it’s been worth it .
Love you all.
Scott
What a fantastic day!! I read everyone’s blog so get as much information as I can. The medical clinics should be interesting for you with your background. Have you been able to give Esuardo any tips yet? We are keeping an eye on Mary and the boys for you. All is well.
Love you so much and am continuing to pray.
Mom
P.S. Wish I were there!
Hi Scott — So glad that you went on the trip. Sure hope that your tummy agrees with you now and when you return. I am looking forward to going to ‘our place’ (Los Aztecas) when you get clearance.
How amazing God is – what great news that the four families were touched for all of eternity and you and the team were used as God’s instruments.
Have a great day in the mountains and a blessed Lord’s day on Sunday! – Jim
Hey Sweetie I don’t have any other suggestions other than the boots. I think the night with the ladies turned out great. We sure had fun. Went to the movies with Val and the kids today – it was a cute movie. Make sure you take it easy and stay healthy. Love always and everywhere, Mary
Hello all,
Another day, another village. This one was an hour and a half in a different direction. We did a medical clinic, followed by a praise service and then gave out rice and beans. This village had about 60 families. It was apparently a village that had religion, but wasn’t very religious. Do you know anyone like that, more worried about the ritual of the religion rather than just praising God?
We say many people come to have a personal relationship with Christ today. Tomorrow we head down closer to the coast for another clinic and service. This village has 130 families.
Mary and the boys,
I love and miss you all talk to you soon.
Scott
You guys certainly our busy people. The pictures look beautiful. Wishing I was there. Soak up some sun for me. We love and miss you too. Can’t wait to see you on tuesday. Love always and everywhere, Mar
Mary,
Love you so much. We’ll be leaving here for about a 2.5 hour drive to the coast. We’ll leave about 10:30 am and return about midnight. Another clinic day. Tell all I said “hello”. I’m doing OK. Love you. See you Tuesday.
Scott
Hi Scott,
Finally, an “I’m doing ok”. Kept waiting to hear how you were doing physically. I read that Nate was driving the van, so I relaxed, but now I see you are driving as well. At least you are used to an Explorer. Will pray for you tonight as you do the clinic and present the Gospel.
Love you,
Mom
Hello all,
It’s 12:15 am local time. Just got back from our last clinic. Saw over 300 people. Had a great meeting in spite of the hour on and hour off the mountain. That was an interesting ride/drive.
Mary,
Love you lots. Lots to talk about. See you in just a couple of days. Good Night.
Thanks so much for posting when you got home last night. I woke up at midnight our time and then again at 1:15a.m. and felt compelled to pray for all of you. Evidently part of that time is when you were navigating the mountain roads in the dark. Hope you had a great day shopping and relaxing ( and having a chicken dinner). Will pray for all of you on the return trip home. Stay safe and I can’t wait to see you.
Love,
Mom
HI Scott —just wanted to give you this contact info for the drivers picking you up in case Sandi doesn’t look at her message. Rick’s cell is (616)889-3298 and Marv’s is (616)550-3872
I got the ok to just leave the vans at the church office Tues. nite so would you please talk to the drivers and figure out who can bring them back to Zeela;nd Wed. morning. Hope you are having a good last day and have a great trip home. Rich
Hello All,
Thank you so much for the prayers over the last week. Still have one more night here then leave at 4:15am to get to the airport in time. I miss all of you back at home, but this has also likely been the most exhilarating time of my life. I expected to be tired, but instead have been filled with the excitement of the Lord and the things he has been able to do. There is something to be said for not having phones or TV (lol).
One last request is to pray for the teams safe return to our homes.
Mary,
I love you so much and cannot wait to share with you the time we’ve had here. I only hope my words can describe it. Tell the boys I love and miss them to.
Thanks again to all,
Scott
Hey Scottie, So glad to hear how awesome the experience was and can’t wait to hear more about the trip. Take it easy big guy and have a safe trip home. Mary has been behaving herself pretty well…Val and I are a lot of fun but I think she’s ready for her sweetie to be home:-)
I think this is such a great thing to do. Make sure you don’t over do it and get plenty of rest. Taks lots of pictures!

Praying for you that your strength will be enough to build but also to enjoy. God bless you richly. Talked to Mary in Wed. Have a great day.

Sounds like you are not getting a lot of rest but accomplishing a lot. That is so very awesome. Things are BORING at the moment – which I am very thankful for. Ladies are coming over tonite after work. Looking forward to your return. Love always and everywhere, Mary
