Adios Jeff!

February 14th, earlier than the sun, we had to say goodbye to one of our family members here...Jeff and Seth pulled through the gate and as they crossed under the Casa Vida Esperanza sign, a shooting star flew overhead. Maybe a promise he will be back soon?

I am so thankful that God has always provided me with brothers and when I moved to college, some great cousins to take the place. Once again God provided when I moved to Mexico and now that Jeff is moving back to Milford for the time being, I feel very deprived...How selfish, huh? However, I am excited to watch God's non-ending faithfulness in his life.

I was looking through some pictures and decided to post "best of Jeff" moments...not that they can truly be captured in photos.


Jeff's final night with the boys



Jeff and Francisco chilling at the beach


I think this picture is funnier without an explanation.


Jeff, Lili and Michelle, Christmas 2005


The single staff laser tagged a few weeks ago in Tucson.


Jeff with Michael and Timi riding Francisco's bike.


Jeff shows his amazing ability to get himself into TROUBLE and then his talking starts...when you want so bad to be mad at him but just have to forgive based on his non-convincing explanation of "what he really meant."


One of my favorite pictures of all times...Seth and Jeff at Café Crazy.


Jeff and Yaneli


Jeff, Seth and Joel stand as consistent fashion models, even in Bahia de Kino.


Jeff, Andres and Seth walk down the street.

As he said goodbyes to the kids and church and staff, we tried to focus on the fact that this departure isn't forever, just for now. Jeff, now that you are an avid blog reader, Te quiero un chorro. Te extrañamos y si Dios quiere, NOS VEMOS! Please pray for Jeff's adjustment back to Indiana.
