Actually, mixing with missionaries isn’t something that we do all that often! But as you saw from our newsletter, it’s been a bit of a theme in the early weeks of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


We enjoyed, for example, a visit from two couples from the US who are part of our mission (at two different times). We had some fun time to hang out and chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently enjoyed some “cultural orientation” time in Mexico City, and, of course, some fellowship, with a missionary family who has been on the field for a few months (but I had not yet met them) (picture above)<\/em>. So we saw the sights and had some tacos, and then we all came back to worship with our church on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tradition has been “MK Camp” every spring, and this will likely be the last one for a while for Nathanael! We’re there right now. \ud83d\ude42 Shari is the counsellor for the younger girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re in prayer for our church, and other churches in Mexico City, as this week is also a youth camp! Due to previously mentioned conflicts, we’re not there. But I’m sure they would appreciate it if you join us in prayer for the youth and the leaders and organizers. They’re there at a camp out of state until Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then – Resurrection Sunday! If everyone coming back from all their camps is still awake to celebrate properly. We’re looking forward to the weekend, which gives us an extra reminder to meditate on and celebrate our God’s great work of salvation for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So a bit of a breather over the weekend before plunging into a few weeks of absolute chaos. But we won’t talk about that right now! Just stopping by because I realized I hadn’t updated you all for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
