During the week, John and I are in class and the boys are with a babysitter. It was strange at first to not be with the boys all day. I have been used to that for so long. It was kind of hard for them too. But Mexico hasn't been all work and no play. If you work hard then you should play hard, right? And that we have! Our weekends are filled with day trips. So far we have visited the capital, Mexico City, the city known for its silver mines -Taxco, the Ecological Center, a family circus (what an interesting experience), Mayan pyramids in Xchiocalco, and parks. Our time is getting short but our list of fun and educational things are long. I wonder what will get accomplished.Brayden especially understands all that he has had to give up; his friends, toys, familiar faces and places. He knows the sacrifice but he also knows why we are doing it. But still, he is a child. To reward him for it all is easy. He gets excited of the littlest of things- like some cookies after he finishes his school work, being able to catch bugs out in the yard, or a $3 sling shot at the market, or a new notebook to draw in. But boy, when he gets to climb a pyramid or go in a cave or see a pit viper, he goes crazy! Seeing that in him also helps me know that for everything we have had to give up, God has filled the void with joy.
Know we are missing you.
