Monday was kids’ day in Mexico. The kids at the Seminary celebrated on Friday with pizza, a piñata, cake, candy, and games. It was fun to watch our kids interact with their friends at the Seminary.

Monday was a holiday in Mexico, so none of the kids were in school. The weather has been great, so everyone was outside in the afternoon yesterday. The kids were playing and having a general good time, so I decided to record a little video.

This past week, I traveled with the dean and president of the Seminary to San Francisco to meet with the leadership of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, one of the 6 Southern Baptist Seminaries in the USA. The two presidents of the two Seminaries (pictured above) formally signed an agreement to work together to advance theological education in both countries.
It was a great trip. I had fun spending time with Daniel and Misael and the other missionary that went with us, and it was great to meet so many professors from Golden Gate. I am excited to see what happens in the future with this partnership.

I’m spending a week in California with the director and dean of the Mexican Baptist Theological Seminary. They asked me to come with them for some meetings with Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.
So far we’ve had rain everyday since we got here. It’s been a good trip, though. I’ve enjoyed spending time with these guys that I work with everyday at the Seminary and having a chance to see how we can expand and enhance the ministry of the Seminary in Mexico.

Two weeks ago, Dr. Jeff Iorg, the president of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary visited our Seminary here in Mexico for our 110th anniversary. We also had some meetings to see how the two Seminaries can work together. He wrote a few things about his visit to Mexico on his blog.

Yesterday was a busy day! August 27, 2003, we packed up our 7 suitcases and moved to Mexico to begin training youth workers in Latin America. 8 Years have passed so fast! A lot has happened since then–our family has grown and our ministry has seen some great things happen. We also have a lot more stuff.
Yesterday was also the end of the first certificate course of the year. We had the students at the house for lunch. It was also the opening service for the Seminary’s school year. We are looking forward to classes being in session again. It’s been a while since Dennis has taught, and he’s ready to get back into the classroom.
Here’s a quick picture from the service yesterday. The pastor of First Baptist Church of Satelite preached about stepping out of your comfort zone and making history. That is exactly what God called us to do 8 years ago, and it is what He keeps calling us to do today.
