MTS

Here are pictures of the people that were at the Missions Training School in Mexico. If it is on your heart, pray for these people. We are going all over the world to make His name known.

Of course, us: Robin, Kilaine (5), Tracy & Liam (3) Shelley. We're going to Lima, Peru June 19 to work along side of a pastor for 2 years. Then, ultimately we feel called to church plant in other areas of Peru.
Paul, Elena (2), Kelci, Lola (6 mo.), Luke (9), Isa (7), and Lydia (6) Mattfeld. They are going to Oaxaca, Mexico to work alongside Paul's brother and to reach an unreached people group among the indians in the mountains. They are heading there directly after the training school ends and will arrive around May 19.

Kelli Sorensen. She is staying in Rosarito, Mexico, for 4 weeks for additional training. Then, around July, she is going to Nairobi, Kenya for about 6 months to work with a church plant and to see if she is called long term. Ultimately, she is praying about going as a full time missionary to Uganda.

James, Katie, Jerrah (1) Askrens, (also Josh-6, & Celeste-11 who didn't come to the school.) They are going to Thailand to work in an orphanage. They do not have an exact date of departure, but are praying for sometime in June.

Graham Wathen. He is going to Sri Lanka with another couple to establish a bible college. He is planning on going around the beginning of August.

Here's everybody. Ron Clipp (far left) was the director. Next was Strelize, she's the missionary that lives on the base and takes care of everything there. Bottom left is Azalia and Luisa. They watched the kids for us most of the time (some other ladies helped out too). On the right is Anita, and her kids Isis and Osiris. Anita and her husband Daniel cooked awesome mexican food for us the whole time. At the end of 3 weeks, we were all family.

Yes, I said at the end. Today we all said our goodbyes and left for our next step. But, I haven't told all the story yet. I'll post more on the last week of our trip next. Stay tuned!!!
