Halfway thru!!!?????!!!!!





Well, hope everyone is doing good that is reading this. We are glad that you are keeping updated on our everchanging life weekly!!! We have just spent two weeks living on an island, and one week in a very big city called Tuxtepec. We have lived in conditions over 100 degrees daily, and sleeping in hammocks outside or with fans on us inside. It has been fun, but very tiring with the heat. I thank those of you who are praying for Caleb to eat, he is doing fine. We are all losing weight, but we think from sweat more than anything!! We enjoyed our time on the island the most. We bathed, washed our clothes in the river and swam everyday. We were like at home there!!! The water felt so refreshing and we enjoyed it too much!! The worst part was that the path to the water was over 500 steps downhill and then back uphill to go. Some people elected to not bath because it was so steep and difficult, but you can`t keep the Easton`s away from the water!!! We look like Mexicans now, we are brown, and speaking Spanish pretty good!! We are learning hands on how to reach out to people that have never even heard of Christ. We invite people everyday to the services, and have a service everyday except Mondays. Justin, Matt and Tammy have preached, and all did good, and Justin was told he would make a good preacher one day. We are half way through our outreach of visiting all these rough, hot places, but we are enjoying them also. We are eating new foods never tried before, drinking new drinks and all with smiles!! (Most of the time)..... We can`t believe that it is May already. Before you know it August will be here and we will return freezing in the 80 degree weather, and you all will be laughing at us. We sleep in that weather at night and cover up!!!

This past week has been hard on all of us in the school though. Satan is a good discourager and has been hitting us all hard with that. We are discouraged about our house also, and just seeking God out, even when its hard and we are at a lost as to what to do. Just keep us in your prayers please, we know its Satan trying his schemes again. The kids are awesome though, they are always happy here, always content and that is such a BIG answered prayer for us as parents.


Another thing is that by August or when we get to Texas in August, we need a vehicle to get us back home, and that would relieve a lot of worries for us there to know we will find one. We have some money set aside for one, but it is not much, so pray for a great deal for us or else God to provide something for us. We are going to need like a Suburban or something to fit us and our things also.

Everybody keep up reading this, we love reading the comments and miss seeing the comments on here. We check it weekly to see who`s reading, and it always brightens our days. We love you guys and thank you for your prayers and support. We are keeping our eyes focused on Jesus, and not all these discouraging things, we miss all of you also. God Bless you all, and Happy Mother`s Day to all you mothers!!! In Christ`s service, Eastons
