Gone to Manana Land

"It's time!"
"It's time for what?" my wife Ruth asked.
"It's time to begin to think about returning to Manana Land."
"Oh, you mean Mexico?"

Ah. and so I do.
It seems we are always either comin' or goin', as if Mexico were the center of our universe. And so it might seem.

The older I get, the oftener I find myself in Eccl.12. A trip to Mexico seems more intimidating. The "what if's", loom larger.
It becomes more difficult to come to a decision. Should we go, or stay? What about ...?

And then I think about my open invitation to teach at the Bible Institute, "whenever you are in Mexico", as Dr. Esparza put it.
And we think of Lois Raser, our Mexican mentor. Of Hecor and Pablo and Rosario and their families. "Your grandchildren send their greetings and ask, "when are the abulitos coming?" Hector informs me in a letter. "Will abilito Carlos walk me to school?" Jaci asks her father Pablo. Who could turn down an invitation like that?

Myron and Ruth possible schedule

Arrive in Jerez between Feb. 8-13 … visit Lois through the weekend and leave Jerez on Feb. 17th to go to Celaya to visit Pablo. The climate in Celaya is warm, sunny and pleasant in February. Pablo and Niky pastor a small church in the garage of their house. We could stay in their guest bedroom. Would be with them perhaps a week.

Leave Celaya somewhere around Feb. 24th , and take a bus to Mexico City. Spend the weekend with Rosario and her husband David.

Hector picks us up in his car on March 1-2 and drives us to Nacaxa. This is a 3 ½ hour drive. Necaxa is SE of M.C. at an elevation of around 7,000 feet. Hector and Maricela pastor a church in Nacaxa. The church is located at the gate leading into the denominational orphanage. We would spend 2-weeks with Hector.

Return to M.C. where Myron would teach his Death and Dying course at the main campus.
When this is completed, we would take a bus back to Jerez and spend a few weeks with Lois and friends. March 25th to April 6th. We want to be in Jerez for Easter and for the annual farm fair.
While in Jerez Rosario and David would come to Jerez to talk to Joan about the possibility of migrating to Canada

April 6-7th, return to USA

We are told in the Book of James, (4:13-15) to say, "If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this or that." And in this light we make tentative plans to travel to Mexico. We invite you to pray for us.
Keep tuned for updates.
