Reflections on 2008
2008 has been a record year for us in terms of the number of projects we have been able to complete and the number of people who have heard the Gospel. The first few years of drilling here in Mexico, we were fortunate to complete 3 to 4 projects per year due to the difficulty of drilling here in the immediate area (of Soto La Marina) and also due to financial constraints. But this year has been awesome. This year we have been able to complete 21 wells and water cistern projects in 4 different states of Mexico. (Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Hidalgo & Chiapas) Each one of these projects impacts the lives of many people, not only with clean water, but most importantly with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Also, another well driller, Vic Spillman, from the Texas/Mexico border joined MRI in July. As a result, I have been working with him and his partner, Felix, up at the border area between our drill trips down south. It has been nice working with other people that share our same passion to bring water to those in need. This addition has in essence doubled our drilling projects and we are very excited about the doors this will open for other ministry opportunities in the border area. Already for 2009, we have requests for over 16 wells in the coastal area of Chiapas, an invitation for health and hygiene training in the northern part of Chiapas and also 2 requests from the state of Oaxaca (the state west of Chiapas with a large Indigenous population also).
December completed our 4th year living here in Mexico, (wow, how time flies) and though we have passed through many tough times and trials, we would not trade any of it for the world. Your continued support, spiritually and financially, over the years has been invaluable to the work we are doing here and without your help we could not do what we do. We look forward to what God has in store for 2009. Thank you for working with us and God bless you.
