Mother's Day

Mother’s Day in Mexico was on Wednesday May 10. It began early when family and friends serenade their mothers. So from 1am until 5:30 am, I heard singing and music all over the neighborhood. Good thing I have heavy duty earplugs! At 5:30 am students from the Bible School and Jan’s family came in to serenade her. She really enjoyed it, but then she served them cake and coffee, so there was some work involved for her too. Later in the day we all went to a restaurant for Mother's Day lunch. Jan was given a pink cowboy hat by the restaurant which she proudly wore the rest of the day.

I will miss Mother’s Day this year for the first time. Ginny will probably go to Southern Pines to spend the day with her mother, while I will be in the jungles of Chiapas helping to conduct a spiritual retreat for pastors. I pray this will be the last Mother’s Day that I will be separated from Ginny and the girls.
