Eastons' in Las Alazanas, Mx
Right off of the ranch town of Las Alazanas. At the river off of the Mount Horeb church by Pueublo Nuevo. Just before sunset. Had an awesome praise and worship there. The people from this ranch are so warm and welcoming to us all. It is so peaceful and beautiful there. Ten minutes before sunset.

1st week
WOW, what a week. It has flown by. We are so busy in classes and school with the kids, praiseand worship every night and church that time is going so fast. We are loving it here, and feel the presence of Christ in our lives so vividly. We are growing stronger everyday, and long to serve God daily. Matt and I had our first experience Sunday with a Hispanic man. He just came up to us and told us that he was a new believer struggling with an addiction to drugs, and wanted encouragement. We were able to talk openly and encourage him, and pray for him. The neatest thing of it all, was the night before I (Tammy) was struggling with what can we do now, as people that can't speak the language totally fluent , and here God puts him in our life the following morning. That is how it has been those whole experience. Every person in our class here is a blessing to our family, God had it all planned so well!! We gave up friends, family, and personal things, but God has given Jenna SISTERS, the boys brothers and we just love seeing how God replaced everything we thought we gave up with better. I know there will be hard days, but we are so focused on Christ right now, it seems so perfect. 1Samuel 2:2-" There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God" And right now we are standing on His rock, the strong tower and He is our Refuge!! Love all of you, and thank you sooo much for prayers, we feel them!! We are praying for you too!!
