Our First Few Days in Mexico!






We arrived here late Wednesday night after driving for about 9 hours, and God's protection was with us. We spent the first day just resting, getting accustomed to the altitude, and dust, and visiting with old friends. We spent Friday looking at a house to rent, and it was perfect for what we needed. We are so pleased, it has the few things that we prayed for, a running toilet indoors and a kitchen sink!! Also God is so good, when we left the states last year we had to give up our chocolate labs. Our kids miss having a dog, and just on the way down were talking about having a dog, and I thought that it would be to hard to get it over the border, and the hassles with everything, and when we arrived at this house to rent, guess what... it comes with a dog!! A dog with an English name, Brownie, the kids fell in love with him immediately and again God cares about every little detail in our lives. We will help the people move out next week and then hopefully we can move in within the next 10 days. We are so excited and happy to have a place that we can call our own here!! Tomorrow is our first service, and Justin is already practicing for playing guitar in the morning and we are excited to visit with our brothers and sisters here in Mexico. We should be in a "routine" by the end of the week, and figure out a schedule of where we go and when, so pray for our adjustments and starting school with the kids again. Thank you all for your prayers and support of our family, God Bless you, Eastons

The time is here!!!

It is finally time!! We headed out on Monday morning, after a hectic weekend trying to fit everything into our trailer and Suburban. God has been so good. We needed a few things to come through for us to be able to do our ministry in Mexico, and God provided. Someone from our church was gracious enough to donate a Suburban that was much needed to reach the people in the villages, and God provided thru that. We were able to buy a little trailer at a very good price for our belongings, and another person from our church provided a storage unit for our belongings. God has been so faithful, and us being so impatient were concerned at times, when we thought things weren't going to happen in time, but again God taught us our timing is different then His!! We are still short on our monthly funding, but we are trusting God to completely supply all our needs, and we know that He is faithful!! We thank you all who have been here supporting us, and praying for us. We are excited to head down and do our mission that God has called us too, and we pray for many updates and God stories to be passed out!! God Bless, keep in touch! We are all on Facebook also, for keeping in contact!! Will write when we cross the border, Eastons
