Camino Largo
By Fernando Ortega
see relatedSo..... yeah, still here.
Hello, so much for keeping up to date eh? I guess two months is'nt too bad. So anyway, we are doing well. The time has changed, bringing shorter days but also cool-er weather. PTL! Last week it was still getting into the upper 90's and hit 103* the one day, but this week it is 80's, beautiful, and the 10 -15 day forcast shows the same. Yeah I know weather talk is shallow and boring, but after my first summer of sizzle here in Mexico, the chill in the evening air is quite delightful.
The big news down here is Obama as I'm sure it is on the "other side" where it hits closer to home. When natives ask me who I voted for I say I did'nt vote but that I would have preferred McCain, they don't seem to understand why I don't just love the new "saviour" of America. Actually, I did'nt really keep up with politics this year (a statement that may prove I should have stayed away form this paragraph) so I'm not even sure what the man stands for, I'm not sure what reasons to tell them why I prefer McCain, just that he's more Conservative than Obama, and he at least has a track record. But who's on the throne? It's definitely not Barry. Our nation is so far gone that no one but Jesus Christ can save us from complete collapse and decay of everything moral and good, and give us peace in uncertain economic times. Stand up while you still can, and having done all... STAND FIRM on the rock that will not move. Consejos de mi hermano Pablo in Efesios.
I will soon try to post some pictures of my cute kids that are growing up so fast and becoming quite the little Mexicans. In other news.... Praise the Lord we are having a baptism this Sunday. Two ladies from the San Pedro church prayed to accept the Lord about a month ago and have asked to be baptized, so we are going to the river on Sunday and after that a Convivio, which is like a big potluck-fellowship meal Mexican style. The devil is out to steal, kill and destroy, but salvation is still available to everyone and it's so exciting to see people come to the Lord.
That's all for now, Blessings to you and don't forget to GIVE HIM GLORY! for He alone is worthy.
Rod

Hi, Rod! Hey, I found out that one of my friends, Kristin Breneman, was down there. I had no idea they were going to your part of Mexico or I would've hitched a ride and came along. I was rather jealous when I found out. :) Glad to hear everything is going well. You had better enjoy the heat while you have it because we're preparing for freezing weather up here soon. Blessings! ~Tonia
Christa- good to hear from you:). funny, we have your picture on our board and just yesterday Reagan ask me..."where do those kids live" so, we had to get themap out and show him & tell him how you are missionarys & telling people about Jesus:). I am soooo very ready to be through this and am feeling like it will be soon:)- in the next few days... Matt's come Monday and I would love to have baby before that. The boys are so excited w/ all the baby stuff and can't wait! I am anxious to see if a schedule will be helpful for me and I will like it- I am just such a soft mama that I have never really done it before- but just feel like this time around i need a little help to get back to normal and me sooner... and with the life we live I need to have a good baby:)- I will not be rigid- that is not me:). If I could sleep all night by 2 months I will feel like a million dollars:). - God bless you- shanna
Hey, it was good to hear from you again! We'll be waiting for those pics. Life could be better here, and yeah, Obama is part of why I say that, but only part. I'm taking Kelsey to a doc in Wexford on Tuesday and hopefully we'll get some answers to the problem that has plagued her for 5 weeks, and therefore has plagued her mother for 5 weeks!!!!
I'm very glad you are seeing fruit for your labor down there. PTL! God's blessing on you Sunday and in the coming week.
Rod still alive and well and remembering the future. Good to hear from you, bro. And about 1989 and jean jacket hoodies...take a negative and drop it in a hole and I will put in my own sin, cause me my Father's house in. Rich
SQUEAL! I'm so excited to hear from you. As for looking peaceful, looks can be deceiving you know? Well, some days we are calm and the next I think I might go crazy. I seem to always be trying to learn to take things in stride. Then I really do feel like these are some of the best days of our lives, Think how soon we'll be done raisin' kiddos and rattling around in our big ole houses. How's life in Mexico? Are you still lovin' it? Looks like your kiddos are doing well, I'm jealous of them having that experience and the second language. I can't wait to tell Erica about writing her name she's gonna think thats so funny. Blessings....Jess
