Sabbatical Blog
May 5
What a great start to our sabbatical! We’ve had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world (Columbia, Brazil, Mexico, South Carolina, and Canada) here at the Matthew Training Center, and we’ve been warmly welcomed into their community. We’ve been able to ease into the cooking schedule and get accustomed to the kitchen.
The Center is located outside Guadalajara on a large property that is walled/fenced in. we are staying right in the Center (essentially a large home) in two of the bedrooms on the main floor.

The Center has a large outdoor area that is shaded, and that is also where the kitchen and eating area is located.
So far the girls have been fantastic and each day they’ve had some school work to do with dad.
They’ve also had lots of fun playing catch with the dog and playing with another four year old girl here, Anna Mar.
On Thursday we went to a river that is fed by a hot spring and other than some bug bites, we had a great time on our first outing off the base.
Today we went into the city for church and right now I'm in a stairwell catching internet in a Mexican home. Outside there are probably two-three hundred kids that are taking part in a church sponsored carnival on the street - we just blocked it off and set up! It's hot, dusty, and everyone is having a great time! There are six MB churches in Guadalajara, I've been able to connect with pastor Enrique, who is pastoring the oldest MB church in Guadalajara, 43 years; I made sure to mention that I too was pastoring, and also the oldest MB church in Canada. Unfortunately my pictures are not uploaded yet, but I'm sure we'll get internet again! (probably about another week)
Appreciate your prayers as we serve here.
