Christmas with the Kids
Posted by Chad under: Chad's .
Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you all know that I am driving back to Mexico again tomorrow. Three young adults from Seattle flew in today to accompany me and a few other drivers from Texas here. We are going down with a huge load of toys, shoes, clothes and other presents that the kids have asked for. We literally have three car loads of presents for the children this year. We have been richly blessed.
Two churches here have provided presents and another another collected shoes. We will be taking pictures and video and will provide more detailed thanks in the next week or so. We are super excited. We plan to return on Saturday, so this is a very quick trip. Our celebration with the kids will be on Friday. Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures that evening.
As you might imagine, Alise is not able to go with us this week. She is at about 34 weeks into her pregnancy and feeling every bit of it. We are both excited and as you might know are expecting our 1st child, a baby girl around mid-January.
Please be praying for Sheena, Karly, Alicia, Clint, Henny, and I as we make the 12-14 hour drive to Parras tomorrow. Pray for our border crossing with all of the gifts. Pray that we do not get stopped by the border patrol.
Last Friday we had snow here in South East Texas. It is the second snow in two years. The last time that happened was in the 1940’s. Alise and I are pictured below. Please keep us in your prayers. God bless! -Chad & Alise

The children will be so delighted and their little smiles will light up the whole sky in mexico.
