I'm writing from home in Jefferson, New Hampshire, where it's pleasant but overcast today. Ed and I left his parents this morning at 5:30am so he could go to work...what a trooper! So were home, and wanted to share some of the insights from our visit to Mexico & Mexican Medical. Our visit continued to affirm our calling with Mexican Medical Ministries, especially at the Gabriel House location (there ae several other locations with different focuses along the baja). Ed fell into place naturally alongside the children coloring, playing, interacting...and my mind was full of thoughts that will assist me in my role in community relations. (The ideas still keep me up at night!)
So let's answer the question of "WHEN are you guys going?" We are planning on starting after the holidays!!! Hooray! A date to shoot for! We are hoping to start by going to language school for a few months. One thing God impressed upon us during this past visit was that in order to really be effective in our jobs, we need to be able to communicate effectively. If we were only going for a month or so, our spanglish would suffice, but we were so frustrated as it was with our limitations, that we knew we need some serious help in the language department! We are both super excited about this! We are just starting to look into schools, so we will keep you updated as we update ourselves!
Ed will write after he gets home from work, so check back in a few hours! jill
