This is Tom again. In Mexico we are doing something called Casas Por Amor or Houses For Love. Many people because how much their job gives them are unable to actually buy a house. They are forced to pay rent for the rest of their lives. Casas Por Amor makes it possible for them to get a house without rent. They pay for materials and we build them a house. It's a big blessing for everybody down there.

Finally Final!

Trip to Katie, Gavin, Grandma Rothrock, and Grandma Leonard

Well first we went to Gma and Gpa's. I wont go into detail because I'm a busy person. Anyways we went to the park and that was allot of fun. Much later we went to Katie's work and then to her house.

Dad Preaching at Real Life Ministries

This is Tom and for those of you who don't know, Real Life has five services and total there are about eight-thousand people that go there. This series was called Revolution and it was about mission trips to Mexico. I think the other Mission Huts might be a little jealous because we are the newest Mission people and Dad is already talking about Mexico on stage. Go Dad!

Taylor getting her ears pierced

We thought it would be fun to get Taylors ears pierced before the adoption. So we went to the Hair Zoo to do it. She said it hurt a little bit more than a bee sting. She was very brave.

Tom`s Sock Monkey ROFL

This is Tom writing for mom because she is too busy. I was wanting a sock monkey for my birthday(which is in about four months) So she got the pattern and all we needed a sock. We go to a free clothing store that has aeropostal brand cloths. They even give you a cool plastic bag. We wanted the woman that works there in a good mood. To make it seem like I had cloths I pumped up my bag. Mom was looking around in the store and she found a pair of Ultimax socks. that was the only thing I got in my bag when we got home. A day or two after she had time to make the sock monkey. I walked in about ten minutes after she started and it look like a sock fit for a two toed man. To save myself from such images I waited until she was done. At first I named him LOL but then I realized that is too hard to say. So i renamed him to ROFL.
