Pray for us. Please.

The awesome news - we are going back to the Hogar de Amor orphanage! Wahoo!

Ben and I are so excited to go back to Colima, Mexico and serve the kids and caregivers of Hogar de Amor.  This year we're taking a group of 10 from our home church, CenterPoint Church, down for a week of service in Mexico. We leave March 8th and we need your prayers!  Please pray for trip logistics, for great attitudes, for the group to be cohesive and positive, and for God to do truly good work in us and through us while we're in Mexico.

If you would also like to support the trip or the orphanage financially, our team blog at CenterPointMexico.blogspot.com has lots of ideas for how you can help! You can also subscribe to the blog to get photos, prayer requests, and updates emailed to you.

The not-so-awesome news -  we (Ben) narrowly survived the horror of taking support photos. We thought you might enjoy some of the outtakes as a reminder of just how much prayer we need :)

Now I see why the guys at work get nervous when I pull out "the mommy glare."  I'm glad it works better on them than it does on Ben.

Mommy is dangerously close to losing her cool

Ben insists on a terrifying close-up.

This is what happens when Ben decides he needs to bop Daddy's tummy while he's taking flash photos and in the process gets his head stuck in the camera strap.

If I can survive taking photos with my boy, Mexico should be a cakewalk!
