Making a home

The last couple weeks have been full of blessings and challenges. The first week after my last blog post our base director, Chris, got a call from the director of the Mazatlan base asking him if he could go on a pastoral care visit for the team that is on Outreach in Haiti. So that week the rest of the staff team were able to practice our leadership skills as we were in charge of leading the team in all the normal things we do as a base and as a school. That week was good in a lot of ways and also challenging at the same time. It was a bit difficult to take on the weight of what Chris has been carrying as our leader and this put some stress on us as staff, but we also grew as a team during that week. Needless to say, we were grateful when he came back. The next week we continued with the work we have been doing to set up the new base here in the city. We have been pushing to try and get donations of what we need for the base and it has been coming in, at times slowly and at other times all at once. We still need a few more things, like a living room set with couches and a table, a few more storage units such as shelves and dressers, and some other things to make our new base more comfortable. Though we still need a lot, we have really come a long way in furnishing our new home in only a couple short weeks. Thank you so much for your financial and prayer support!
