Other things from our trip…
The main purpose of our trip was to visit our friends and family in Ontario, and share the great things that God is doing in Mexico. We really had such a great time with so many of you (though it was too short – and we wish we could have seen more of you – have we mentioned that?)!
But we also used our trip as an opportunity to get some things that aren’t as easy to get here in Mexico. We’re very thankful for three types of things we were able to get during our visit:
Canada Resources

Most of you know that Hannah and Nathanael go to Mexican schools full time (in Spanish). So we wanted to use this opportunity to get some materials that would help them in English, and help them learn about Canada.
We heard lots of people in Canada lamenting about how little people in Canada know about Canada – and that’s certainly true, but having lived outside the country we’ve come to realize that you really learn an incredible amount just by being there. There’s a lot Hannah and Nathanael don’t know – even simple things like pronouncing place names, or knowing very basic things about how things work in Canadian life.
So besides English, we got some books and games to help with geography and history and all stuff like that there. We mentioned a couple of the books we got in previous posts. We got a couple of Professor Noggin’s card games
Technology
We’ve found that sometimes you can pay almost twice as much for technology in Mexico compared to Canada. So we saved up and got a few things to upgrade what we’ve got – basically things that will help us communicate with you better in the months ahead, and keep information flowing smoothly.
Bible Resources

I’m looking forward to doing more Bible teaching as I gain confidence in the language and move on to more ministries. So I took the opportunity to get both books and software to help with Bible study – and wow, these things have already been such a wonderful resource.
I’m so thankful for these resources that will help as we continue to study and teach the Word of God.
Yes, in this case these resources were mostly (not all) in English. But they are resources that will be useful here. And I’m working on the Spanish library too. 🙂
So there’s lots to be thankful for. We’re so thankful for friends and family who are a part of this ministry in so many ways. We’re so thankful to see what God is doing through them too. And we’re thankful for the tools that God has blessed us with – may they be tools used for His glory!
And thus endeth "Ontario Week". Hope you enjoyed it!
