Our New Home
Above is the front gate and below the paver stones make up our driveway.
We are grateful for this row of beautiful Royal Palms that shade the house in the hottest part of the day.
It has a large yard for hosting groups and playing soccer or volleyball.
There are several varieties of orange trees, many mango trees and lots of colorful Buganvilia flowering shrubs.
There’s a small but very adequate swimming pool to cool off in during the hot afternoons. This is a wonderful feature that we were really hoping to have here in Mexico. It also provides an activity area for guests to come and enjoy.
The house features a huge wrap-around porch that makes up for the “smallish” living room inside. It’s a great place to enjoy breakfast and my quiet-time with the Lord! I’ve really enjoyed this.
In addition there is a small “casita” or bungalow for guests.
The next three pictures are the main living area.
The main house has three bedrooms and two baths. We are very thankful for all that God has provided and we are enjoying getting settled in a home after living the last year and a half in apartments during our training. We look forward to being able to use this as a place of ministry.

So glad to see you made it safely to Mexico and now are beginning this new venture in your life. Your home is absolutely gorgeous. I love all the lush green and palm trees. That is one thing I miss being in Colorado. We are pretty much dry to the bone here and have the “dead look”. We look forward to see how God is going to use you mightly there. Say hi to your family from our family.

Kathee and I are rejoicing in this with you! It reminds me of my many visits to Guatemala to visit Kathee’s family and reminds Kathee of her life in Guatemala.

A belated welcome Paul, Roxanne, Kerra, Kyle,Peter, and Joelle! Janice and I hope to return to Cuernavaca from our U.S. home assignment around end of July 09. Looking to forward to seeing you, so grateful the Lord worked out a great home for you so quickly. We know the Lord will use you powerfully as a blessing to the Mexican church and especially in the El Monte ministry. Praying for you as you continue to settle in.

What a blessing a house is to a family. A house to call HOME. ¿Por fin, no?
We rejoice with you and wish you the best as you unpack and settle into your new home and ministry.

It’s nice to see that you’re roughing it in Mexico! Seriously though, what a blessing. I have enjoyed keeping up on what you are doing there. Can’t wait for more details.

What a nice house and answer to prayer! My husband Greg and I went to NWC for my 25th college reunion this past weekend. Roxanne, can you believe it has been 25 years?!!! We had a nice time visiting with former classmate Brenda (Larsen) Clausen and her husband, Eric, and also Gina (Johnson) and Scott Jibben. Do you have any work groups coming in the next year that need more workers?
Blessings in Christ,
