OH MY GOSH! Only five days until I'm going to my favorite place in the world....MEXICO!
This trip is going to be focused a lot on our Mexican "foster" daughter, who we sponsor from a children's home in Monterrey. We first met Ady Leslie when she was 10 years old. I fell in love with her IMMEDIATELY! Her personality wrapped me right around her little finger!
Here is a picture of my girl the first time I met her!

Ady Leslie in June 2008 |
Fast forward FIVE YEARS! On Sunday, March 3, 2013, we will celebrate Ady's 15th birthday. In Mexico, it it celebrated by a big party called a quincenera. Honestly, from day one, I dreamed about being able to be a part of her special party. I guess I just didn't trust the Lord enough to give me the desires of my heart because until about a year ago, I didn't think it would really happen.
Now, here we are! Her quince is just days away, and I'm trying to get everything wrapped up here before I leave. My son, daughter, husband, two nieces, and sister-in-law/best friend are going with me! The plan was for my Timothy (middle son) and Tim (brother) to come along, too. We have prayed for years about a trip we could all be on together. But, between school and work, we just couldn't work it out.
Please pray with us regarding this trip! I will try to post a specific prayer request each day before we leave and after we are down there.
Today's request:
Please pray for each member of our team (18 in total) as preparations are made to leave. Packing, getting arrangements made for time away from work/home, and enough rest so we can give everything we have while we are there!
I'm going to post a few more pics of Ady through the last few years.
