Shortly after surviving a busy summer (see last post), we finally were able to do something we’d been planning to do for the last several years: take Mayra’s mother Hilda and sister Monica to visit PA. They were thankfully able to apply for and receive tourist visas back in Feb. 2020, a month before the …
I will spare you any philosophizing on this current epidemic, and simply mention some news here in Mexico. Today in the Mexico City metro area, the no-drive day that we live with every week has been extended to cars currently exempt, that is, to vehicles under 10 years old. We still have two years to …
I belong to a small missions agency in Mexico dedicated to encourage Latins to go to all the world (FAM Mexico). I’ve been a part of this agency for forever, but hardly ever attend their international meetings (which happen every two years). The last such meeting I attended (before this year) was in Lawrenceville, Georgia …

The banquet had a missions theme, and I was privileged to participate with Andy Grosh, who has been in …
Hard to believe how many spiritual and family connections can be made in one short weekend! It all started when Leroy Community Chapel invited us up to their church this past weekend to share in their first of three consecutive missions-focused weekends. Actually…it started way before that. It started somewhere back around 1999 when Leroy …
David is with his multiple student intern friends at Word of Life Bible Institute Mexico this week, participating along with Benjamin and Sergio (from the JM church) in a “Week of Bible Institute,” designed with teenagers in mind. The theme this year is “Deepening Your Faith.” What a quiet house it is with David somewhere …
I was impressed these past several weeks at the nature of the ministry team here. We had the following nationalities present: Uruguayan, Canadian, Portuguese, Mexican, Costa Rican, American. Fernando Font, from Uruguay, was busy playing his guitar and singing at the rehab center, the kids club, youth group and two services on Sunday. Julian Grymaloski, …
I (Rod) am privileged to participate in a small Mexican missions agency based in Mexico called FAMEX, short for…ah, what’s it short for??…Fraternity for the Advancement of Missions Mexico. Fernando Amezcua, the president, and Erik Morga, the other member of our small but spicy committee of three: well, Fer and Erik do most of the …
