ncy in the Adventures in Missions Program in 1985/86. We both had plans to work with Gary and Danita Jackson in, what was then, Yugoslavia. My plans changed as Bern and I married and went to Mexico City, and Nancy decided to do her AIM work in New York. She met and married Chadd, then they took up residence in Mexico City just about the time we left Mexico to return to Canada in 1992. They have now been working in Mexico almost 20 years. After many years of being so far away from each other, we find ourselves only 6 hours from Guadalajara; however, Chadd and Nancy have made the decision to return to Texas this summer. As I said, two ships passing in the night!!! One of our highlights of the week was getting to know their
girls. Natalie and Morgan are sweet 16, and their precious adopted daughter, Ceci, is 8. She and Logan had a grand time together. Nancy, her team mate, Toni, and I flew to Cancun 
for a four-day Mexico missionary retreat. We were treated like royalty by an organization called Women of the Harvest. They loved on and pampered all 50 of us missionaries. It was wonderful to meet many other missionaries who are working throughout Mexico with various denominations and churches . It was an honour to be a part of the retreat!! Each participant was there because
of individual and congregational donations throughout the United States and Canada--Amazing!!!!Now we are back home and ready to start another week here in Lazaro. Missing our church family last Sunday, we were "eager beavers" this morning, arriving an hour early for our Celebration Time. No one told us it was the day to set back our clocks!! (oops) Guess it's better than arriving an hour late, as we did once in Dauphin, Manitoba!! I like the good old consistent Saskatchewan time where we never have to worry about changing our clocks.
Our week is full with continuing to read with some of Wade and Richelle's Let's Start Talking readers, visiting a few of our family members who are struggling or just need a bit of encouragement, and our regular Bible Studies. We thank you for remembering us in your prayers. Thanks for reading. Until next blog,
Alicia for the Krogsgaards

I'm glad that you were rejuvenated. On our mission emphasis Sunday, I have volunteered to do the presentation on Mexico so I'll be borrowing material from your blog. Just thought that you would like to know.
Love you guys,
