Welcome!

Greetings from the Sierra Tarahumara! or as they say here, "Kuira!"
As you can see this is a work in progress - so please bear with me as I learn how to blog and how to improve my blog.
Life here just outside of Creel is usually very quiet. I live on a YWAM base which is essentially a small farm. There are 2 horses, 3 dogs, and 1 cat on our base. We used to have several hens and a rooster until the coyotes decided they were easy pickings! So now our hen house sits empty. There are 2 cabins to the west of our base; however, they are not occupied year-round, just when they are rented by tourists. There are 2 other families who live on the base - the Kaemingks and the Heislers - as well as 2 single men. We are so thankful for the opportunity that the Lord has given us to serve Him here among the Tarahumara people. I will share more about life here in future posts.
We are preparing for winter - making plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas as well as getting ready to can some apples (thanks to our dear friends Jack & Marie). Hauling firewood for our wood-burning stove to heat our house is a time-consuming task for Jose Luis; the good thing is that he enjoys it! Jaynie and I have less than 3 weeks left in her school year. She will finish up 3rd grade by the end of November - praise God! I will give her most of December off, and then we will begin 4th grade in January. Speaking of school, I had better close and begin classes with Jaynie. Have a happy Tuesday!
