I’ve got to stop posting about prayers requests - people actually pray and then want to know how everything went! 
Seriously - we appreciate your prayers. Thanks! The Sunday School class went very well. Now, we have to admit there were only 3 students - two were our kids. There was another helper from the church, and a few other people hanging around (because we basically share space with the nursery). So how many students do you need to have before it’s worthwhile?
Well, it was worthwhile, of course. The kids were into it and learned. We were blessed, and had a good chance to use our Spanish and continue developing ministry materials. And it’s a lot less nerve-racking to teach 3 students and not 50. However, I had to pop a balloon as part of the class, and that was a little traumatic. I’ll get over it.
We’re heading out to spend a few days in Texcoco, to check out the ministry there and visit with our friends Rollie and Jo Ann Smith. We’re looking forward to it, but we’re not in the "travel groove" yet, so it will be … interesting, I’m sure!
In case you’re wondering, here are the general locations of the three places we’ve visited this year. Ixtapaluca and Texcoco are the areas we’re considering moving to (probably late spring/early summer):

Good morning everyone! If you’re reading this in time, we would appreciate your prayers as Shari and I teach in the children’s Sunday School class this morning. (In Spanish - woo hoo!)

Excuse the ambiguous title, but it seems there are loose ends all over the place here at Finding direction, so I’m going to tie a few up. Thanks to Ken for the reminder.
First, I already mentioned this but Hannah and Nathanael are fine after the fevers of the last week or two. Shari was sick but is starting to feel better. As for me… well, I’m supposed to take some drugs and talk to my doctor again in about 10 days. So I’m making as much progress toward health as is possible at the moment (I’m even writing this lying in bed - a rare tip of the hat toward recovery for me).
I mentioned Toby in the last audio post. Marilyn (his wife) emailed from Houston on the 14th to say that he’s fine! They’re playing with his meds a bit, but it sounds like he’s doing ok. So praise the Lord and thank you for your prayers!
We had a good visit with the Fry family on Sunday. In an effort to check out what’s going on in other parts of Mexico, we’ve visited with the Frys and the Williams. They were good visits, and we look forward to more, including a trip to Texcoco next week to visit the Smiths.
Meanwhile, we’re doing school - ours and the kids’. And as always we appreciate your prayers for that!
