The Move

Hello from Mexico. It has been several months since last updating something here. We moved from our home in the center of town to an area on the outside of town. Our mission has had a property and facility for over 15 years.Off-and-on there have been people who lived here but never anything permanent. When we went to Tecate for our mission's annual meeting that we attended (first time in 10 years) we discussed with our mission director about us moving into the "center". He loved the idea and thought we should do some remodeling to make it more of a home for our family. So we drew up some plans and sent them away. He gave us the go ahead and we moved in just after Carlos and Barbara left in October. This was a big step for us as we had lived in our other house for more than 8 years. We loved the location and the house but not having to pay rent on a monthly basis was a big incentive. 

With this move has come a great deal of extra work of making it how we want it. We first had to enclose our bedroom area. People could jump over the walls and get into the rooms from the inside. It has taken months to get finished because our construction worker was only coming from 6-8 PM after he worked the whole day at another place. He gave us the greatest price for the work that needed to be done. While he was working on that, I installed a complete bathroom on our bedroom level. It may be confusing but I am going to put some picture below this post so you have a better idea. Where the bathroom is now, was only a bedroom so everything had to be installed from the ground up. Not an easy task for me, but I finally got it done. We have all the plumbing for the shower installed but haven't bought the tile yet to start taking showers. So it is a work in progress that is for sure. 

My office was in a different room. But after some months of living here, we moved it to a different room as to not take up one of the 11 guestrooms we have for when groups come to stay. After so many months of not fully sure of where my office was going to end up, I am ready to get back into my office schedule like I was doing before as well as unpack and organize it. As you can see from this post, I am getting back to things like this that were put aside until I was able to get the bathroom project done. Just after Christmas we had two sets of visitors, my cousins and my in-laws come for a visit so that was also a factor in getting back into a routine. I will be updating here more often now, Lord willing. 
Blessing, 
Andy
