Ministry and preparation

Around the Cottrill household we’ve been moving onward and upward with our preparations for Mexico. Shari has been going through files and getting rid of things that we won’t need to take. As the Christmas decorations have been cleaned up, we’ve been asking what we need to get rid of, since Lord willing this will have been our last Christmas in Canada for a while. Of course, I’ve been working on my course! And we’re hoping that we can get some more bookings in churches soon. A great part of our ministry is with individuals, but it’s disturbing to see all these Sundays free – I would love to be teaching an adult Sunday School class or preaching or singing or leading a seminar or something!

Hannah’s been talking a lot about Mexico lately too. We’ve been discussing language issues and food and things like that. She’s been a little concerned that she’ll go nuts sitting in the van for such a long time on our drive down – she’s been trying to convince us for weeks to fly! Perhaps if we tell her how few toys they’ll let her take on the airplane it will convince her. 😉

I’ve added something else to our Get involved! page, so be sure to check that out. Shari feels it would be a tremendous help to have a sewing machine. Now she does have something specific in mind, but if you do have one sitting around your house that you’re not using, it just might fit the bill.

Thanks for your prayers as we continue to minister and prepare.
