Leaving Dallas

We’re packing up to leave Dallas now.  We had a good time here at CAM Center, and managed to finish getting the paperwork we needed.  There were lots of other things to do, people to meet with, friends to see.

It was good to spend a little time in the USA, since we’ll be working with some of its citizens in Mexico.  I’m not sure if I understand the American culture more or less – maybe I’m more confused than when I came!  But hopefully our brothers and sisters from here will be patient with our faux pas and strange questions, as I hope our Mexican friends will be as we learn more about their culture.  But as with any culture, it’s wonderful to have a common bond with our brothers and sisters in the Lord, even though we may not understand why in the world they do what they do!  😉

After all, it’s so important who you’re working with.  And we’ve had the honour to work with some great people – at vti, at CAM, at our church, and many other places as well.

We’re going to be travelling with our friend Alan McManus, who has been in the USA to visit family and pick up some things he needed.  After we get to Mexico, we’ll stay with his family in San Juan del Río for a few days until the annual CAMEX Fellowship Conference.  Alan and Beth have two boys, one Hannah’s age and one a little older, so our kids are looking forward to that.

Anyway, I need to run and finish getting the van loaded.  We’ll probably check in again somewhere on the other side of the border.
