FEBRUARY

Greetings from Mexico City!

this was the most action-packed month thus far, with tons of necessary manual labor and Micah’s first days in school!

The most exciting development lately has been the progress of our brand new CAFE in Coyoacan, which is a major destination for locals, tourists, artists, and youth.  We have been working on this place non-stop for the past 4 weeks and we’re gearing up to open within the next few days.  Please look at pictures of our progress!

 

This is a picture of Micah on his very first day of school.  He cried right after I snapped this photo when he realized we were leaving him there.  He still cries whenever we drop him off but according to the teacher, he does really well for the 4 hours he is there!

We also transitioned Micah to a big-boy bed (with guard rail of course!) and he’s been doing great.  This allows us to use his former pack-n-play for our new child when he/she arrives!

We have been learning a great deal lately while still struggling with various adjustments to living in the city.  Something that I (DK) have been learning is in taking joy in “normal,” non-glamorous seasons of service.  I blogged about it on my personal site if you would care to read: http://dkdanielkim.com/2011/02/22/my-joy-in-obscurity/

Sadie’s pregnancy is going well but a funny development is that after 2 ultrasounds, the last one being a 4-D one, we are still not completely sure whether or not our child is male or female!  It seems the gender may be a surprise!

Please pray for a healthy baby, free of complications at birth– especially something like jaundice as this was an issue with Micah.  Sadie is due in mid-May!

CAFE NEO will be an amazing place and opportunity for us to love and connect with our Mexico City community.  The area is definitely a hub type of destination for all of Mexico City, especially on the weekends!  Pray that our NEO community would reach another level of impact and unity through this exciting new venture.  This is how we envision “church” to happen for this next phase of our time here!

THE WELL is on the verge of a major break-through and we hope you will pray with us as major government officials will be visiting our trafficking safehouse this week.  If all goes well, this may be a huge open door for us to receive many more girls who are in need of rehabilitation!

We hope this update gives you enough to keep in mind and prayer.  We desperately need your prayers each day and we appreciate all your love and support!

Blessings to you and your family!
