Last Sunday was a special day for Kaylee at our Spanish church. Why? Well, because Carena was there. Long story short...Kaylee and Carena became "best friends" while attending Puggles together at Valley Baptist Church (our Spanish church).
Last May, we learned that Carena's mom and dad were going to move to Mexico over the summer, since they are missionaries serving with with OREMUNDO Ministries and UCLA (Universidad Cristiana De Las Américas). Kaylee was sad to learn that her friend wouldn't be back at church once we got back to Texas in August. Kaylee talked about Carena all summer long.

But last Sunday, Carena's family was back in South Texas for a visit and attended services. The girls were so happy to see each other. They even happened to be wearing similar dresses.
Another interesting twist in our family's relationship with Carena's family is...when Kristi and I took our first missions trip to Mexico in 1996 with a team from Northland Baptist Bible College, Carena's father (Russell) was the assistant leader. Immediately after the trip into Platón Sanchez, México, Russell married Debbie. Upon arriving at language school, Kristi and I were surprised to learn that Russell and Debbie attended our Spanish church. It was fun to get to know them in a better way during our first semester of language school.
Kaylee will continue to follow Carena's family via their blog.Who knows, maybe someday they will go to Bible college together.

We have a nice picture of Carena with our kids taken at their home in McAllen before we moved. I loved seeing her and Kaylee together - how sweet!
