On Saturday, my friend from the office, Patricia Gaulin sponsored a service trip to an orphanage is Tijuana, Mexico. I still am struggling with my health, so I sent the family and stayed home to rest. Steve and Brent went along with Doug, Michaela and Spence. They had a great experience. Before they went, I took the kids to Target and they picked out soccer balls to give to the kids. They both wanted these Spanish/English dictionaries ($1.79) and Michaela spent most of Friday night practicing Spanish phrases. It is really important to me that my children learn to serve. I was so pleased that they had a positive experience and everyone agreed that they would like to go again next year (Patricia intends to make this a yearly event). Apparently, this one little boy took a real liking to Spence and Spence drug him around the play area on his foot. Michaela started teaching the girls how to make Norwegian paper baskets. Brent, Steve's friend, served a mission in Argentina, so he was able to translate. I wish I had been able to go and the pictures
tell a great story. Next time.
Enough for now...love to all.

I am so sorry to hear that your health is bad. I know it breaks your heart when you can't get out and be with your family.
If all I can do is pray for you, then I will pray for you. I love you and your family so much.
Get better soon - Love Boyd
