Dear Brothers and Sisters in Arriaga, Chiapas:
Thank you for so generously and warmly welcoming us into your community. You especially made us feel loved by all your attempts to communicate with us even when it was difficult because we know so little Spanish. Thank you for inviting us into your homes and feeding us your yummy food. Thank you for helping us with many simple tasks which were complicated for us by being foreign.
Thank you for the example you have been to us, in living by faith daily. We will remember your numerous testimonies of how you . . ."love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. [You] love him with all your mind and with all your strength. [And you love] your neighbor as you love yourself."
God has planted you in our hearts. When we are back in Canada, we'll continue to remember you and pray for you. We are also taking a bit of Chiapas home with us in my belly. Timoteo, our Chiapaneco baby, will not forget where his life began.
See you again, hopefully soon.
Dios los bendiga.
Love Sam, Wendy, Hannah, Jude, Jeremiah, and Timoteo
