We received in three teams this summer, two from FBC Jonesboro & one from DBC. We painted, shared the gospel, hung out and encouraged the youth group, we have traveled to Denton (2,000 mile round trip drive!) for the Missions conference, broke down on the way, spent three days in hotels waiting, had a great time with our family, spent Memorial day with good friends, had a fish fry with my uncle a week before he died, went to Chihuahua to see the family, lost a niece in Chihuahua, I had emergency knee surgery in Xalapa, lived thru the initial round of the Swine Flue, Watched as our son started futbol, and our daughters start swimming. preached @ a youth retreat an saw 8 come to know Christ as their saviour, Preaching thru 1 Timothy in the Church, I turned 41, celebrated 8 yrs of Marriage, taught my son how to fish, moved from Xalapa to Coatepec, painted the church, painted the girls room, Painted Selvas house, finally got my work visa, exercised church disciple on an Elder, added one more FAT Boy, had our truck fixed, fixed the Black Pearl (my Scooter), hosted numerous important futbol games, continually encouraging the body, Got a new grill for the hospitality ministry and I got glasses.
Coming home...
Well, I need to tell ya'll that we will be coming home sometime in March. the reasons are two fold.
1st, for every four years of service over seas, DBC wants the Missionaries to come back to serve a "Home service" tour. This recharges the battery's of the Missionaries & helps them to reconnect to their Church & their supporters. we have served faithfully in Mexico for the last 5 1/2 yrs. so our time is due to return for a bit.
2nd, Over this last year, we have lost a lot of our monthly support. so our goal when we return to Denton will be Get our support back up to where it needs to be, spend some good time with ya'll, and serve the body there at Denton Bible! Please remember, we live off of your support, in the field AND at home. Immediate Needs? we need furnished housing. preferably in Denton. our family is 5 (and no we don't Smoke). Please, if you know of or have housing that will be available in March-Dec., email me right away at bfox@serve-intl.com or you can call me @ (940)-488-4695.
The Future...
Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his way,but the LORD establishes his steps."
As ya'll know, we have been alone here in Xalapa for the last two yrs. there was no Team Mexico. Well, now we have our new team leader in Paul Lambert! Paul and his family are in central Mexico in a city called Querétaro. Once we get our support raised, we will be moving to Querétero to join Team Mexico! Our team will be Paul & Deniese Lambert, Tim & Tona Bedford & Bryan & Placy Fox. it has been such a pleasure serving our Lord and Saviour here in Xalapa. Thank ya'll for your support.

Prayer Request:
A home for the Foxes in Denton (Cheap Rent)
Our move to Querétaro and all that it involves.
Our health. We have already been through a few bouts with the Flu!
Peace in the Storm of change.
