Loving Mexico!

Wow, it is so awesome to be doing God's work, loving it and feeling totally at peace with where we are! That is how we are down here. We feel like this is a blessing that we are able to even be here. We are all adjusted and keeping busy, a different busy then U.S., but busy. We are busy trying to reach the kids here for our youth center, and that has been a challenge. We are different, we look different, dress a little different and not every one trusts us yet. For example, our kids are in Tae-kwo-do classes, and have been for 6 weeks. Just last week, the other kids in the class took the time to talk with ours! Sad, but an adjust we know takes time. So last week was good. Jenna has made a lot of friends already, been to their house and have had them here. Boys are boys, and talk to everyone! We spend our Friday nights in the plazas looking for teens to pass out invitations to and usually buying a plate of tacos for us! It's our way of reaching the people here, talking face to face. Just last week we went to a village that we love, and to our surprise the Pastor invited us to come and start a Bible study and a teaching of piano and guitar with his youth! We are so pumped and tonight will be the first night of it!! It is God opening all these doors, not us and we are so thankful. Other times it is hard to be here. The church service is so different and a little condemning or guilt filled. They preach so much on blessings and curses that we think the people have it all wrong. That is one reason we believe we are here. To show God's love, that God is a God of love, not punishment, not judgement. The people here seem to live in fear of making God "mad." So, we are working on just being Jesus here, to the Christians and non-Christians. Thanks for reading this, we will try better to keep this updated, just seems that time is always short!! God Bless, Eastons
