Sharing my experiences of life in San Felipe, Baja California, working as a full-time volunteer missionary at a children's home and orphanage. Randy and I arrived at Sonshine Hacienda just in time for the Christmas madness to begin. And we still have a week of it as we prepare for the "Day of the Kings" on January 6. And just yesterday a local family stopped by. Three little girls handed me a trash bag full of stuffed animals. They said they got new ones from Santa this year and wanted the childr...Randy...

Sharing my experiences of life in San Felipe, Baja California, working as a full-time volunteer missionary at a children's home and orphanage. Happy Anniversary To Us! One year ago today, on the steps of the old Auburn courthouse in Auburn, California, Rand and I said our "I wills." I will love you, honor you, cherish you. from this day forward. It's been the best year of my life. Filled with joys and challenges, family and living more intentionally. One of the most important things to be intentional.

Sharing my experiences of life in San Felipe, Baja California, working as a full-time volunteer missionary at a children's home and orphanage. Being the Answer to Someone's Prayer. Yesterday I really began to understand the importance of having mentors in your life. After an hour of just hanging out with the kids and catching up over a pitcher of Sangria, Tony turned serious. "I teared up when you called and said you were moving to San Felipe. You guys are an answer to our prayers.". Having mentors in yo...

Sharing my experiences of life in San Felipe, Baja California, working as a full-time volunteer missionary at a children's home and orphanage. Yesterday I attended the Joyce Meyer Conference. At Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento. It was a 3-day conference, but Randy and I are getting ready to go to Mexico for a week, so, between packing and getting ahead on work, I felt like one day at the conference was all I could squeeze in. Joyce reminded us that our bodies are " temples of the Holy Spirit. Her point w...

Sharing my experiences of life in San Felipe, Baja California, working as a full-time volunteer missionary at a children's home and orphanage. How to Handle Rejection. Randy and I both faced unexpected rejection yesterday. One of my clients, who I have been working with since December, decided that he no longer needed/wanted my writing and editing services. I received the "we're going in a different direction" email, which we all know is code for "you aren't cutting it so I'll just do it myself.". If you...

Sharing my experiences of life in San Felipe, Baja California, working as a full-time volunteer missionary at a children's home and orphanage. Thanksgiving is an American holiday, so it's obviously not on the calendar in Mexico. But that doesn't mean we didn't celebrate it this week! Only the secondary school kids went to class that day, so I asked if we should do activities with the younger ones. Ask and you shall be put in charge! After we had put together our gratitude chain, they asked for another ac...

Sharing my experiences of life in San Felipe, Baja California, working as a full-time volunteer missionary at a children's home and orphanage. The Sounds of Mexico. Ever wonder what Mexico sounds like? We wake up each morning to the sound of dogs barking. We had no idea before moving to Baja that we would be living right next to the humane society. Add to that the fact that EVERYONE in San Felipe has a dog, and there is rarely a moment of quiet. These are the sounds that fill our days! Secure Online Dona...

Sharing my experiences of life in San Felipe, Baja California, working as a full-time volunteer missionary at a children's home and orphanage. God's Footprints, Part 2. During the same week that I receive Angie's devotion. For God's footprints in our lives, I was reading The Hiding Place. The story of Corrie Ten Boom. It will become easier and easier to recognize him in those moments. My sweet friend Angie in Indiana sent us an Easter card this week. (Hi Angie! Or are you living automatically? The gist o...
