Wow! What a ride!
Have you ever been on a ride when you think you are getting to the end, or a smooth & slow part, and then you round the corner and YYYYAAAAHHHHHOOOOOOO!!!! Another set of turns, dips and loops. Sometimes we love these rides, sometimes we don’t.
First, an update on past events. My mother-in-law Carmen has recovered from her eye surgeries & diabetic complications. She does not have anymore pain in her eye or head (this had been occurring for years); although she has not regained her sight (she did experience a brief period after her surgery with vision). It is a real blessing to not be experiencing the pain, and she did not lose her eye! She looks better than I have seen her in a year!
As you know, I have been sharing with you (these past few months) our journey of how we are following Jesus in our daily lives, in Mexico. I have shared some general thoughts of how we want to be “Loving the Forgotten” through building relationships, in Mexico as well as with our friends in the US & Canada.
We have a natural base of relationships in Ensenada (from my 4 ½ yrs & Ana’s life) and growing friendships in more remote parts of Mexico as well. The continuing question has been; how to connect all this together, the relationships & the projects, the recourses and the needs. We have been following in faith, trusting that God has a plan in our lives.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matt 6:33
October 8th, as I was returning to Ensenada from ascending Half Dome (in Yosemite) I received the news that my friends Greg & Teri Littlefield had decided to make a lateral move within YUGO Ministries. (The Littlefield’s had assumed the Directorship of YUGO’s Ensenada Outreach Center – Campo de Suenos, in the spring of 2006) Almost immediately I believed that I was going to be offered the position of Director for this ministry. As we prayed I asked the question: how does this relate to the direction we have been going? Is this a change of direction? Or is this an opportunity to enable us to continue in the same direction, with more momentum?
We believe it is the latter, and with a humble heart, I stepped into the role of Director of YUGO’s Ensenada Outreach Center (EOC), Campo de Suenos.
In many ways this is like a homecoming for Ana & me, although we did not anticipate this. We met here, we have grown here, and so many of our friendships started here. We are excited to allow God to lead this ministry of His, continuing to love the forgotten, as we work with friends on both sides of the border.
Thank you for your continued prayers and friendship,
Ana & Scott Wester
