A blast from the past....and present!

We were so incredibly blessed this past week to have our dear friends Gary and Karyl visit us from Indianapolis. Gary and Karyl have been mentors to us for over 10 years now. They led our young marrieds group at our church in Greenwood for several years, Karyl was the mentor mom for Robin's MOPS group in Greenwood, Gary served on the school board for STAR Academy when Christian taught there... and the list of sweet connections between us and Gary and Karyl goes on and on... including the fact that they have been faithful supporters of our work here in Mexico.
They spent 5 days with us this past week and it was one of the sweetest most wonderful times for us. What a joy to talk with them, laugh with them, show them our life here in Mexico and to have a taste of home!
We praise God for Gary and Karyl and for the way they have willingly invested themselves in the lives of others. They are an amazing Godly example for us and for many, many others! Thank you Gary and Karyl for your time and your encouragement! Come back soon!
