Hola from Mexico
Posted by Chad under: Chad's .
HI, this is Juanito. Chad asked me to start writing on the website. This is my first time doing this. I hope to do it once or twice a month.
This week is been crazy all the kids! They are happy with Makaila being here. They all want to hold her and it seems that she likes most of them but me. When I hold her she always cries, poor Juanito. hahaha!
It is almost end of the school year and today is Jenrri’s Graduation. He is excited and is getting ready for it.
I want to say thank you for all of your support and help because at this moment i feel our farm is growing so much and now we have corn and everything is green. It looks beautiful! Look at the pictures below. (Look mi amigo Clint)
We have some cows as well, you know why? Because my mom, Lourdes, loves having them. Right now we have five of them. (See Below)

This last week was difficult time for us, because it was the one year anniversary of my Dad’s death. (Juan Manuel see post from June 2009). It was nice to remember him and look at pictures but really feels good to know that his dream of the farm is succeeding. Thank you for everybody who has had a part in helping us.
Please keep my family, this house, and I in your prayers. Feel free to comment, I would love to hear from you.
-Juanito

So great to hear directly from you! And what an awesome report on all that God is doing with the farm, Jenrri’s graduation, etc. I remember my trip there and keep you all in my prayers for God’s goodness to rain upon you that you all will be blessed and filled with His love abundantly!

Juanito, what a great job with the web post! I love the pictures. I work at Northlake Christian Church, along with Jacob’s mom, Carrie, and read all the posts and pray for Vida Nueva. It is great to get the report from you, just to have a different view of things there. God bless you!!

Thanks so much for the update! You did a really good job with your post, too. It’s wonderful to see the pecans showing some green; the milo (sorgo, sorghum, cane) looks like it’s thriving too - maybe even better than here in Kansas.
It’s going to be strange not seeing Jenrri at Vida Nueva, but time must go on. Keep us updated on what he’s doing from time to time, OK?
I will definitely try and remember to pray for you and your family, especially as you remember your father’s death.

Juanajolote mi hermano!! Que paso!! Thats a beautiful site mi amigo! I am excited that everything is growing and looking good. Hopefully I can get a chance to get down there again and help on the farm. There is no doubt in my mind that your family and this farm will prosper. You all are good and faithful servants. God is going to rain blessings that you can not measure. Take care and God bless. Tell everyone I said HOLA and hope to get back down there soon.
Love
Clint
