It’s anniversary time. Two years ago, I was with Linda Weaver in northern Mexico. Linda Weaver taught school in a Russian Mennonite community. I went to help her a little bit — and God allowed us to witness how much He loves the girls in that youth group. We saw how well the Holy Spirit [...]

Choosing My Life

I watched the twinkling lights of Philadelphia as we circled to land. I smiled out the window. I do love the wild west, but there is something about Pennsylvania that can’t be beat. It really is home, and I really love it. My time in Mexico exploded with blessings, joys and deep lessons learned. I [...]

Thank you, Jesus: You take the late-hot-chocolate-nights with the girls and transform them with Your LOVE. As we sip hot chocolate and talk, there You are. Thank you.
hugs for a teacher

The crumpled tissues wiped away the kinda tears that make every effort, every prayer, every long night, and every trial seem small and meaningless. They were the happy-sad-kinda-tears. The tears that meant great celebration was going on in heaven. a true hug for any teacher.

The Christian girls from the secundaria class decided to have a bonfire on Sunday evening. They burnt all of their “bad things” and shared testimonies of how Jesus changed their lives. Linda and I just sat there and rejoiced with them. I love to watch Jesus work!

The Evening English Class

I enjoyed teaching the secretaries, accountants and engineers of Fertifum, a local business, English in the evenings. It was a fun class, full of eager and dedicated students. The materials and conditions were less than ideal and every evening was unpredictable, but we made the best of it.

I drove towards Camp 82 this afternoon, me and the gray jeep. Twenty minutes down the road the Check Gauge Light begins to beep and flash. I hear a hissing under the hood. Oh dear. I look and see a gas station. I think of my poor Spanish and lack of automotive knowledge. This could get [...]
Healing Rain

Nineteen young girls –around thirteen years old—visited us last night. They awkwardly filed in to the house, awkwardly drank their hot chocolate, and awkwardly smiled. I yawned. The evening dragged before me. We sat in Linda’s bedroom, all twenty-one of us. Linda opened it for anyone to share. Diana, the girl who got saved [...]
Dear Everyone,

I taught Linda’s five classes today; too bad you can’t come and take a peek in the classrooms. The children are well-behaved, attentive and a joy to teach. Well, most of them. The nine grade class is full of very rowdy boys. I told them that controlling them was putting puppies in a box and [...]
