Yesterday, on our way to our church site, the construction team van missed our turn off. The driver/leader said, "There is a reason for this" and the kids all agreed. It is difficult to manouver the trailer so turning around was a challenge---an opportunity--totally safe showed up at the intersection--the driver took a sort of U turn. The kids said, "did you see the police?" Oh no, sure thing the lights went on and they were after us. The next day I heard that another team from NY were witnessing this, they knew we would be in big trouble, the list of offenses was going to cost us money and time at the station. They started to pray, they were very afraid for us. The police took the license and registration, went to his vehicle. The team prayed. He came back and said we had to come in to the station. I asked for my license back, he would not give it. We had to follow him. He went back to his vehicle. Desperately I asked the kids to pray again and I burst into prayer that he would give me my license back. He came back to the van and gave me the licesnse and registration. He asked where we were going. I said Casa Hogar and said the pastor's name, Martha. Oh, okay. We left rejoicing and able to carry on the Lord's work at our site.
Rudy and Jocelyn are very grateful for your prayers. We sense the presence of God as we travelled down. We know that God intervened and heard our prayers during this police situation as well. Praise God for all the answers to prayers.
We are building relationships with our partnering church. They love us! We love them! God is good. Please pray for a child with a sore throat, a leader with a cold, three children with neck strains. And please pray for today's events, we are going with our church into town for tacos. Sharing a meal with our brother's and sister's in Christ. The enthusiasm of the team is remarkable. The whole camp talks about that group of Canadians from Living Hope.
We are declaring His glory among the nations!
Love in Christ's name,
Bless you all from everything!

We as Brandon's grandparents appreciate the blog; God is BIG so is ever present in Mexico with you all, as He is here. We are thankful for safety so far & the warm welcome you have received from the church family there. Continue to be a blessing - you may not see all the rewards now; some may be revealed in Heaven. God bless all of you real good. Brandon's Gpa & Gma
