A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY UNDER SIEGE

Our drive to Paulas Moms was uneventful and we encountered no problems traveling on the roads in Mexico. We left with Phil and Mary, the directors of Mexico Missions and followed them to San Lois Potosi and spent the night in a Holiday in there. A 6 hour drive to Tejupilco from there and we arrived at about 3 in the afternoon. We saw many military convoys and Federal Police road blocks insuring the safe travel of the general public. Paulas' Mom was so happy to see us and the time there was a blessing to us and them. We gave out several tracts and bibles to many family members and being able to pray with many of them was a real joy. The whole area there was greener than we ever saw it before because of a lot of rain and the mountain passes we drove through were breath taking. We wish we could have stayed longer 4 days of driving and only four days there, next time we'll plan ahead instead of a last minuete trip. We prayed and cried over Mom before we left. I don't understand why God keeps her around but I'm not supposed to. 94 years on this Earth and she still cares about and prays for all of the family. We stayed at the same hotel on the way home and saw thousands of soldiers driving north toward the border towns. Maybe an end to the Cartel siege on Mexico will end soon. We stopped in the colonia on our way home to see Carmelo and Ruth and to drop off all the plants we brought back. Two Pastors came yesterday for food and medical supplies for thier congregations in Mexico.
