I've mentioned Fiona's two previous mission trips with my sister's church to go work at the Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. When she came home last year, I felt a stirring, a call, to go myself in 2009. When Rob lost his job, this, of course, seemed impossible. But two separate families, unasked, have stepped forward to volunteer to send back not only Fiona but Delia and me.

I'm going to Mexico this spring! I'll be with Fiona on her sixteenth birthday in Mexico, working to decrease world suck, which I think is just wonderful. Many thanks to the donors!

Now I have to get a passport for Delia and me. . .

How marvelous!

Huh, this is about the eight time Mexico has popped up in my line of sight in the past couple of weeks. I wonder if the universe is trying to tell me something? It may be nothing more than, "it's time to go to the beach."

WOW

What a wonderful gift! It is fantastic that Delia will be able to experience this type of philanthropy at her age and even more wonderful that both girls will be able to share the experience with you!

Congratulations! The families who gifted must've realized the difference not only their gifts would make for you and the girls, but the difference the three of you will be able to make as well!

That's fabulous! You are inspiring me to involve my family in decreasing world suck in 2009, although we probably will confine ourselves to preparing/packaging food at local food pantries and soup kitchens.
