First Week in Mexico

After a long journey driving to México, we spent our first week in Puebla with the Chapples.  It has been a good week connecting with people and getting to see parts of the city while attending to a number of details.

  1. I see you are covering the basics of day-to-day life in Mexico. As for your spill, I think almost everyone takes a topple at one point…even people like me who think they have learned the motto, ‘ if you’re walking look down; if you want to look up, stop walking’. Overconfidence can get you too! Your house looks wonderful. So glad to see you both looking rested and happy. All thanks and praise to God for His loving care. And thank you for the updates. It is so good to learn about your experiences in this way…a bit like accompanying you on the journey. Did you find the platos(plates), Carolyn? May God continue to bless you in your walk with Him.

  2. Praying for you. How are you feeling after your fall? The house looks wonderful. What utilities does it include? How are you and Bear feeling with the weather and water there? So glad things are moving along. Blessings,
