Christian School News:  

It is difficult to describe how quiet the classroom is while all the students are working on their paces.  The high schoolers are all working diligently toward finishing the year out strong!

This pic is from the first day of spring, which also happens to be Francisco's birthday.
Feliz Cumpleaños, Fran!

It is equally difficult to describe how loud the Kindergarten classroom is with most of the students repeating most of the directions while attempting to learn all the new English words.

In this pic, (also 21 March) we are learning the long sound for my favorite letter, "E!"

The Great Commission:

We continue to have a large group of ladies at our group each Friday.  We are still taking two vehicles, and still seeing many saved each week.  Of note since my last blog is the fact that my friend Lydia won her first soul to the Lord! Also, Stephanie and her husband Trent, who are here at Mount Hebron attending Language School, each won thier first souls in Spanish.  Praise the Lord!

The Local Church

The Conference is over, but our fervor and commitment for service is still strong.  During March we have had a Vision Service highlighting various opportunities for ministry at Mount Hebron, and a Missions Emphasis service.

I am still helping in the 3-Year-Olds I am teaching (learning) the 23rd Psalm (in Spanish).

Interesting & Exciting Happenings:

I appreciate the blessing that Heritage Baptist Church has been to me since my moving to Mexico.  Most recently, the Lord has used them to make it possible for me to buy much needed new glasses.  

Adapting to my Changing Life:

I have finally finished Disc 1 of Rosetta Stone!!
I definitely feel as though another dimension is being added to my life as I absorb more and more of the culture and language of a foreign country.

== March Adventures ==

The weather has been incredibly beautiful here, much more like Spring than winter.  On one of these beautiful days, we had a great time kite-flying in the big field.  It was well past dark when we stopped.  

On a different evening, one of the college students came to ask me if they could borrow my softball equipment.  I said yes, but asked if girls were playing, too.  He said yes and some of the kids that live on the property. So, of course, I went and joined them -- sorry no pics.  :)
{FYI: The 1st video starts with Lucas running, but has the best view of all the kids.  The 3rd one is me :) }
