Hey, i hope you are all doing well. Things down here in Mexico are going really well.. Keeping busy, always stuff to do; and being stretched continually. Kara and I had the chance to go to a PUMAS game ( UNAMS soccer team, really big down here). There were at least 5,000 at the game. Crazy fans, literally cheering the whole game.. Soon enough i will post a video of some highlights of the game for you all, and put some pictures up.
Other then our outings and getting to know the culture more and more, life here is the big city has been great. God has been opening doors, and we have been meeting random people and have been able to make connections with them. We are definitely learning a great deal about Mexican culture, and the differences and similarities between Canadian culture.
Overall, we are thoroughly enjoying our experience in Mexico, and feel God stirring a passion in us for Mexico in the future.
Please continue to pray for us as we finish up this year. We have our final spanish exam on Wednesday next week, and are then heading out on vacation for 5 days. God is doing a work in us and through us these days.
If you have questions or just wanting to email us please feel free to do so.
Dios de bendiga, adios amigos!

somos beunos! (we are good)
So you are all probably wondering how we have been doing these past few weeks... Well, it is only within the past few days now that we have had time to figure out our schedules and settle down a bit from the business of life and ministry here in Mexico City. God is so good. Thus far nothing dangerous has happened to us, other than a concerning cold that Kara is only now getting over after almost a month of being here. And our transition into Mexican culture has been very smooth, more-so than we ever thought. Language classes are going really well, and all in God's timing we will be speaking fluent Spanish.
There have been so many new things and changes that have taken place these last few weeks, it would surely be an overload to tell you about all of our cool and interesting experiences. That is why we will be sending out our October update soon with more info of what all has taken place in the short time we have been here.
To give you just a little update though.... We are busy like nothing we have ever experience before in ministry. Think about diving off the tallest diving board you have ever seen, and that is more or less what we have been experiencing lately and only now surfacing (learning how to tread water in a new culture). Leaving all your worries and concerns on the diving board and plunging into deep trust that God has everything in his hands.
Please continue to pray for as we need and covet your prayers greatly. A lot of things are going on all at once around us and there have been and are currently many attacks being made on us by the enemy. Please pray for safety as a general thing, but more so for wisdom and discernment as we are both being stretched physically and spiritually as we believe God has something big in store for our time spent here in Mexico.
We send our love to all of you wherever you are, and you're in our prayers.
Gum Trees! There famous for them here in Mexico. Just be careful you don't run into them.
