Crystal Pierce serving in Mexico
I have made it to Southern New Mexico! It took us an extra day because we got a winter storm in Wyoming & Colorado! The storm was not something I was expecting because in Baker, Oregon we’ve not had snow for a few weeks. My mom joined me on my road trip south! And we have had a great time visiting friends & family along the way.
The road closed to Cheyenne, Wyoming!
Two weeks ago I wrote you an email letting you know how far Amy & I were away from heading to Mexico. Within one week of us praying together for my support, I got it all plus some more! Here’s how it went. Each day, my support went up a bit, some days by a lot, others by a little. But each day it went up. Then on Monday I went past 60% & reached 62%! Tuesday Amy & I found out that we need to get to Texas on February 24th! Wednesday & Thursday I started to tell some friends & let things start soaking in – Amy & I are moving to Mexico! Now I’m starting to plan for my last few weeks in Oregon & travel plans on the way to Colorado. I’ll be leaving Oregon on February 18 or 19th, arriving in Texas on February 24th, and entering Mexico soon after!
It is so amazing to me at how quickly my support went up! It truly is a huge answer to our prayers for these last two years. And it’s an answer at how faithful God is to us, just by listening and responding to us according to His plan & will!
Here’s what my current checklist is looking like: praying, taxes, Mexican car insurance, packing, saying goodbyes, planning for the road trip, praying, getting things fixed on my car, a dentist appointment, and of course there will be some more things that will get added to my checklist!
Thank you to all of you who have been praying for me as I’ve been working on heading to Mexico, and for some of you it’s been almost 2 years! I am so excited at how God has worked through friends, family & believers that I’ve not met to provide for both Amy’s support and mine!
Thank you so much for your prayers. If you have any questions, please let me know!
Heading to Mexico,
Crystal
October 2009
The month of October was quite exciting with the leaves changing colors and with a few flakes of snow here in Eastern Oregon. It was also a month in which I was sick quite a bit. After my trip to Florida and Louisiana, I was a bit worn out, and was hit with some sickness. And then last weekend I got the swine flu, but I survived! Now I’m feeling pretty good, just in time for a trip to Denver, tomorrow!
**I have been trying to mail this letter for the last week, but have had no Internet access on my laptop. Hopefully I can get it mailed while I’m at one of the three airports I’ll be in today!** Sunday update: didn’t happen at the airports. This is being sent from Oregon!Here is a quick recap of my last four weeks.
Four weeks ago I was in Oregon & packing to head to Florida!
Three weeks ago I was in Florida! (more…)
Hey y’all,
This last month I have stayed busy with helping out at two Vacation Bible Schools, house-sitting, filling in for my sister at the church office while she was gone for 10 days, and hanging out with my family & friends! (more…)
