Well it has been some time since I updated this blog. I have put it on my calendar to do every other week from now on.
Today we are in Kentucky where Robin and I have shared at the OMS Student Center and with the OMS retirees in the area. It has been fun. Robin and I have been traveling in Oklahoma, New York, West Virginia and Kentucky.
Mexico has been much in the news these days and I’d like to give you an update on that news from my perspective and the perspective of friends and family in Mexico.
First the violence – it is mainly on the border and does not directly affect us. It indirectly affects us because those we work with and live alongside have family and friends who are affected.
Second the swine flu – Robin and I left Mexico on March 17th and began our traveling here in the US so we have not been infected. Currently our churches, the pastors, workers and missionaries are healthy, which we praise God for! While normally I would say that the media exaggerates the situation, in this case, they are under-reporting. The Mexican government is not letting the true numbers out of those infected. Part of the problem is that the Latin people are so relational. When we greet one another we do it with a handshake and a kiss so something like the flu is going to spread faster. We need your prayers!
We did read in the news today that it is on the decline in Mexico! Praise the Lord and keep praying. This could be a real time of harvest!
