This past week we got to spend time with Joe and Elaine Pruett and their three boys: Seth, Parker and Cooper. We go way back. Joe was an AIM (Adventures in Missions) student back in 1992. After he spent his AIM time with us in Mexico City, he went back to the U.S., did some more ministry and missions training and married Elaine—who Nancy and I knew even before we married. Then, along with 3 other families, we all formed a mission team to Guadalajara and moved here in 1998. We’ve been through a lot together!
This past summer, after almost 12 years in Guadalajara, they moved to San Antonio, Texas to begin a new chapter in their life and ministry. We miss them. But its cool to watch them with people and to imagine how God will use them for Kingdom purposes in the days to come. They are educators. Joe is working in the San Antonio school system—teaching 5th graders. I can’t imagine a better influence on a 10 year-olds formation than Joe! Or on anyone’s formation for that matter.
It was fun to be with the Pruett family this past week. They had been given a vacation package at the beach and invited us to join them for three days. Then we spent the rest of the week in Guadalajara. It was fun watching our three girls and their three boys together!
A good week!
