Tales from both sides of the border



I spoke with Mike on Tuesday and he was very pleased with the tour so far. During the first four days of his trip, he preached 4 times, gave 8 presentations, and taught 1 Bible study. So far, he's talked to more than 1,000 people about the work in Mexico.

While we miss having Mike around, the time has flown by. Here's a sampling of what we've been up to south of the border while Daddy is away -

hanging out...


taking care of stuffed animals...


celebrating birthdays*...


building forts...


catching up on our beauty sleep...


baking more birthday cakes...


laughing at good jokes...


and just being sweet...


*Trinity's birthday isn't until February, but she's been asking for birthday cakes. What can I say, I'm a softie.

My name is Dean Rupprecht from Minnesota City, MN and I attended one of Pastor Hartmans presentations with my Daugther Jessica at Christ St. Johns in West Salem. I would just like to thank you both for sharing your husband with us and the mission work going on in Mexico. We pray that the Luthern Church in Torreon will continue to grow. Thanks again. Buy the way I appreciate the Mexican recipes too.

Hi Dean,
Thanks for your note and I'm so glad you had a chance to see his presentation! I've heard great feedback from Mike about his tour in the U.S., and am really glad he had the chance to go.

And I hope you enjoy the recipes!
Thanks again for your kind words and God's blessings to you and your family,
Rachel
