"Hno. Jazhiel Sankey".... :-)

Jazhiel enjoyed doing his homework the other day in Marc's little office in the corner of our little living room...yes, I used the word "little" twice because that doesn't begin to say it. :-) But God has helped us adjust to this much smaller house and we love it here!

Jordan's birthday supper and cake

We enjoyed supper at Chili's last night (yes, there's a Chili's in Saltillo, although we hardly ever go there) for Jordan's choice of birthday meal.

A few pics of him I took yesterday....

Jordan requested a Double Fudge Chocolate Cake for his birthday - he IS a Sankey, after all! lol

It was scrumptious if I do say so myself...

Pastor Dolores, Sylvia and kids helped us celebrate Jordan's bday and enjoyed the cake with us....singing Happy Birthday and Feliz Cumpleanos to him in our home in Saltillo.

Jordan is 16

I blinked....

and he's 16!

Jordan, you are our awesome oldest son. Thanks for making us parents!

God is doing awesome things through you and He has even more planned. Hope this is your best birthday ever.

Love you....Mom and Dad

Marc's Bday Party (1 of them)

Marc and our boys in front of our home in Saltillo, Coahuila, MX on Marc's 41st birthday.

Marc and his birthday treat, hot fudge cake. It wasn't "Frisch's" (which he dearly loves, but it'll have to do)

Our good friends, Hno. Lupe and Hna. Chelo stopped by to visit that evening and brought the. most. delicious. mango pie!! it was scrumptious!

We enjoyed playing games with friends that evening...Pastor Dolores and family beat us every time in Dutch Blitz (although we taught them how to play only a few months ago)...lol...

Our wonderful church people in Saltillo, congratulating Marc on his birthday after Sunday School. Love this special tradition! (notice the Mexican handshake...between the men, that is)

I hope your birthday was the best one yet, Marc. I love you!

Spring has come to Saltillo

Spring has come to Saltillo.....Thank you, Lord, for new life!

Happy Birthday, Marc

Today I wish a very happy birthday to my wonderful husband Marc....the love of my life and my best friend. Every day with him is a gift. I love you, Marc.

Sunday in La Boca

The weekend before last we visited our Bible Methodist Church in the village of La Boca. This is considered a pioneer church which has basically been re-0pened by Pastor Pablo and Sis. Ofelia in the last 2 years. They are doing a wonderful job and the Lord is blessing them with good attendance and with His presence in their services.

This is the church and parsonage in La Boca.

Common transpotation in La Boca.

After Sunday School, Sis. Ofelia fixed us a wonderful Mexican meal...here she is making fresh salsa of roasted tomatoes and jalapenos, using a molcajete...a stone grinder.

Thank you so much to the Hough family and a few others for donating the funds to purchase this keyboard. She loves it as you can tell. :-)

Weekend in San Rafael

Recently we spent Saturday evening and all day Sunday visiting our Bible Methodist Church in the village of San Rafael.

We stayed again with our wonderful friends, Daniel and Lorena. They had asked me to make them an American Sunday dinner, which I did: Meatloaf, Cheesy potatoes, corn, cole slaw, bread and chocolate cake.

I hosted a Ladies Activity in the afternoon with Bible Study/prayer time and then a scrapbook class. Love these ladies and girls!

The first time ever for any of them to scrapbook....loved the smile on this sweet lady's face.

Marc taught the SS class in the morning, and preached in the evening service.

Our wonderful hosts, Daniel and Lorena. Gracias, hermanos!

Their daughter Daphne was not in the picture.

Logan's Bday Celebration

We celebrated Logan's 12th birthday at the "slide park" in Saltillo....such a fun place! Pastor Dolores and family went with us. We enjoyed a picnic lunch, ice cream sandwiches (Logan's choice....he doesn't care for cake) and hours of fun on those huge slides!!

Logan and his best friend, Jazhiel.....they call themselves brothers.
