About Us

In April 2013, I arrived in Milwaukie, Oregon after spending 3.5 years on the mission field in Northern Baja Mexico. Soon I discovered God's purpose in bringing me to Oregon...the homeless community.

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving in the states at my sister's home. There is no celebration of Thanksgiving in Mexico, so it was wonderful to come together with family and friends. I can't remember the last time that I was so particularly grateful for green beans, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and turkey. It was a nice treat to break away from beans, rice and tortillas.

When we returned to Mexico, our friends Janet and Mary also came. It was nice to have them with us here. On Saturday, they took the boys to Ensenada to help with an outreach to kids. I stayed back and signed hundreds of Christmas cards from DOFO and helped a little with preparing turkey for today's meal after the service. I'm not sure for how long, but it's a tradition for the Americans to serve a Thanksgiving meal after church the Sunday after Thanksgiving following the Sunday morning service. It was wonderful!
