\"Hannah
Our daughter Hannah holding new friend Bethany<\/i><\/font><\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

There are a lot of interesting things happening around Mexico these days, some that affect us more than others.  There was some excitement here last weekend, for example, when some friends of ours welcomed a new baby girl into their family<\/b>!  Our Mex-Bol-Erican missionary friends (they’re kinda multi-national, you figure it out) have their own blog, so you can read about Bethany’s birth story…<\/a> for yourself.  We were over to visit and all of us except Nathanael had a chance to hold the little gem.<\/p>\n

I also wanted to point out to you that there are exciting things happening with the short termers that are here in Mexico<\/b> with CAM<\/a>.  You may have been reading about this in the CAMex blog feed<\/font><\/a>, but you can check out the coordinator’s blog<\/a> here to read a little about what has been happening.  Some of the short termers also have blogs of their own; I know about this one<\/a> and this one too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These guys are in our prayers as they explore what God is doing in Mexico and play a strategic role.<\/p>\n

Well, there’s lots going on in my own house too, so I’d better run.  We’re trying to get a little caught up with some things before I head back to classes next week.  Talk to you later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
