Sept. 30

Greeting from Mexico. Last few days have gone by so fast. The transion with Isaias is going very well and he seems to take pride in what he does. As we shuffle things around around and prepare to leave early saturday morning, I believe Isaias will do well. Yesterday was a little running around for me and tidy up some loose ends. Today we recieve load of lave rock to tidy up the yard and also emptying out the pool. I have to take the bus in for a grease and check out why transmission brake has stopped working.  My hip and ribs are in a bit of discomfort, keeping me awake a bit at night. Giving me more time to pray about things. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. God bless.  Thank you for all your prayers and support.

Good morning, Rob and Brenda arrive safely last night. Today will be Isaias move in day  and get settled into his new role. We will contoinue to with yard work. I still need to connect with one more pastor before I leave to get an update fom him. I will try to do this today or tomorrow. We recieved about 15 minutes of hard rain last night around midnight and everything is and looks refreshed. It has now been 48 hour that I have not taken any meds and I am doing ok. My hip is hurting today as I did a lot of walking yesterday, will have to do less today. Thanks you for all your prayers and support. 

Sept. 27

Good morning, what a beautiful morning here, clear skies and that means it will be a hot day. Rob and Brenda should arrive here early to mid afternoon. This week I will leave things in Isaias hands and just walk along side of him as he goes through the ruetine things here. The pool will be shut down later this week so that will take some work load of his shoulders.
I finnished my meds and now will see how I really feel, I do have some more pain killers but want to see if I can do without them. I do feel a bit more discomfort but it is not to bad yet. Thanks again for all your prayers and support.

This morning I got up early and cleaned the pool and then then I finnished cleaning out the care takers house so Isaias can move in this afternoon or tomorrow. He will be running this place when I come back to Canada in 5 or 6 days. He is moving here with his wife Anna. Today is another beautiful day, clear skies and hot. Sarai is looking after the office today and that gave me time to go to church ths morning as well. Rob and Brenda will be in travel today as they are to arrive here tomorrow afternoon to do some book work and get Isaias set up for the transition. Please pray for Rob and Brenda and Isaias and myself as we prepare for the transition this coming week. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Good morning, here is looking out my front door toward our tenting area. Yesterday Sarai called in sick as she and her son were at the doctors office. It was a quiet day with only a hand full of people at the pool. Today I feel a lot better and I can walk a short distance without the cane now. My hip is still sore but on the mend. My ribs are a bit itchy today so that is a good sign. Isaias and Ureal will be doing the pool and yard work today and I will try to do some very light duty watering. It is very cool here this morning and I hope the cloud cover clears soon. Thanks again for all your prayers and support.

I had a an rv come in later yesterday, a very nice couple from Austrailia and we sat outside and shatted for a while.

Sept 17

Good morning
Yesterday Isaias and Uriel (his son)and myself were working on cleanning out one of our water ewsivors and I slipped and fell about 8 feet down onto the concrete floor. I knock the wind out of myself and managed to climb my way out of the tank. I sat there for a bit to get my to try to cathmy breath but it was very short breaths only. Isaias rush to to the Christian hospital here and they hooked me up with oxigen and i v and xrays showed that I fractured one rib and broke one rib. The doctor there goes to the same church as I go and he was giving me a hard time last sunday when the church was here, small world.  They said I was going to stay there for 5 to 6 hours so Isaias need to get back here so he called Jonathon and told him what happened and he was not able to come there right away but his wife came. She made sure I got lunch and then supper as well. This morning when Isaias showed  up his wife made extra tortias with beans and and I am not sure what all is in there, they are good though. I am a bit stiff and sore today but that was expected but God gave me a very restful night last night. I am very thankfull that God protected my head and back in that fall, it could have been a lot worse. I will rest for a few days and see how things go. I can sit and lay down comfortably but walking right now is a bit painful due to the blow the hip took. Thank you all for your prayers and I will keep you posted.  God bless. 

Sept.13

Yesterday, first thing in the morning Jonathon and myself connected with a few local ministries here for updates on them. Then in the afternoon I was watering the grass and putting down some fertilizer in the trees. Today pastor Isaiah should be back here and we will do some more little prodjects around the yard and in the afternoon Jonathon and myself will connect with a few other ministries.

Yesterday was a quiet day in the campground and I managed to get a little thing done. Today will be a lot of the same things, pool, cut grass ect.

Other than that things are going good and the weather is cloudy in the morning and sunny in the afternoon.  Have a great day.

Sept. 6

Good morning, Yesterday morning I spent cleanning the pool and area and cleaning up the pallopa area. Then I went to church and Sarai watched the campground. I basically took the afternoon off and when Sarai went home then I was out and about. Today I will clean the pool and area and the pallopa's again and I will also have to do a garbage run and maybe even two. I will finnish up the day cleaning up the yard.

It is Saturday

We are fogged in this morning. I would think this will burn off before noon and then warm up again. Well I did not get the office cleaned yesterday so it will be on the list of things to do today. I need to clean my house as well and seeing the grass and everything is wet out there, I think that will be a great place to start this morning. I hope you all have a great long weekend. Thanks for your prayers and support

Back to here

Today looks a lot like the rest of the week has, more grass to water and edge, get ready for the weekend, make sure washroom and garbage cans are clean and general clean up. I should also clean the office space today.
