Update!

Lots of things have happened since my last post. We left Saltillo the 12th of July, which means we lived in Saltillo for exactly 11 months to the day.
The trip from Saltillo to Mexico City was very exciting as usual. First we got pulled over by the police at 4 30 in the morning, half an hour later the car overheated leaving us stranded in the middle of nowhere which made me freak out (as usual). Next we got stuck in traffic somewhere in Queretaro making our planned 9 or 10 hour trip into a 13 hour one. The batteries in the camera were dead (as usual) so we couldn't get any pictures of the trip but that's ok cause we all just looked tired.
We spent 2 days with the adoptive grandparents which the kids loved cause they got more attention in those 2 days than they had in the last month.
Thursday the 15th we left to Acapulco, dropped the kids off with their dad and we went to look for a place to stay. The Lord supplied a very nice hotel room with air con! We spent the next 10 days witnessing and fund raising. It was great to see old friends and make new ones. The first time we went out to provision a meal we met a very sweet lady who knows mom from when they were here and she offered to give us one meal every day that we were there.
The rest of the trip was full of little miracles and the normal ups and downs that only happen to us, haha!
Andy and I came back to Mex City the 25th of July, and we've been job hunting ever since. Its been fun to have to write up our C Vs , go for interviews etc. He was hired as an English teacher and started work last Monday. The Lord also gave us a really cute place to live in. It's small but very cozy and the best part of it all is that we live on the top floor of a Family home so the kids can still get fellowship and have fun with other kids.
I am in the process of enrolling them in a school that is only 2 blocks away, public but PTL, you can't win'em all. The goal is to get some stable form of income and then see what private school we can afford. Private schools here are incredibly expensive so we have to take it one step at a time.
If all goes as planned (which it probably won't, so I should prepare another plan just in case) we should be able to go pick up the kids tomorrow afternoon. I've missed them so so much.
Here are a few pictures of our home, sweet home!

Our "room".


The "Living room" and you can see the closet and loft.

The bathroom which also has a small little balcony.

Love you all! Come visit sometime...
