I drove to the store ( by myself I might add - if you had to drive here you would be proud too) and I found THIS . . . .I paid a small fortune for this amazing wonder but I think it was well worth it. I think that this itself could make up an entire post but felt like I should let you in on a little of what we have been up to for the past few days.
Thursday, we had a chance to visit a local MK school were our teammate’s children attend school. 
The school is growing and needs more space and so they are beginning a project of adding on a second level to part of the school building. We have a team coming to help with this project in October but are feeling it may be too big for one group and are praying that a team might come in November or December of this year or the beginning of next year to help finish this project as well as another construction project with the Homeless ministry in downtown Mexico City. This ministry has a clinic in the basement that needs a lot of work. The clinic has many of the building materials already but just needs someone to come in and complete the projects. If you are interested in helping us with both or either of these projects please contact us.

This is a place where we would LOVE to be able to take a team. There are so many needs they have and so many things that a team could do such as: give the house parents a break by cleaning the house; doing a VBS with the children; playing and loving on the children giving much needed one on one attention; help to sort and organize the home; donate school supplies, toys, and clothes; offering a week of ESL classes or crafts and the list goes on and on. 
The house parents and the church do an EXCELLENT job but funds are tight and there is only so much that two people can do at one time for 10 children. Here are some pictures of the children’s home as well as a couple of the precious little children who live there. If you are interested in bringing a team to work with this children’s home, please contact us and let us know.

One entire family among our house group churches in the city came to know Christ after their son became a believer and then led his entire family to the Lord! 
They were baptized today in a service in one of our missionary family’s front yards in what I believe was a water tank with the top cut off. I would like to tell you that today it was about 59 degrees where we were in the city and raining. It was so neat to see how these people desired to follow the Lord in obedience so much that they didn’t care about the temperature or the fact that they weren’t doing it in a nice baptistery in a pretty church. I was amazed at their faithfulness to the Father.

Dear friends, we cannot thank you enough for your prayers and have felt each and everyone. Our prayer requests for this week:
- God would provide the right teams for the right projects at the right times
- Travis would have the patience and time to do his seminary work with dilligence that honors the Lord.
- Health of all our teams members
We thank you dear friends!
Until all have heard,
Travi and Dani ( these are our new adopted names by the locals)

It sounds like things are really going well- starbucks and blue bell ice cream! I would have loved to been at the Beth Moore conference. I am so glad that lifted your spirits. God is so good he knows what we need and when we need it even if it is ice cream. We will continue to pray for you and all of your requests. May God continually bless your good words. Love, tia Valerie
