Now, let me share what is new with the Peña-Otero family. For those of you haven't noticed we adopted a sweet fuzzy friend, named Oso (which means bear). He is our newest addition to the family and has been a very positive change in our lives. He helps us to be more connected with each other and to go out into nature. But he also opens doors to speak with new people we wouldn’t have met without him.
This season—especially here at the base—has been new. New for everyone. We have been fighting to seek the Lord more as individuals and also as a family. We also have the privilege of spending more time together as a family as well. In digging in the deep dark scary stuff and just enjoying each other's company, it all has been very good and much-needed
Since our numbers have been so minimal here at the base we have had new opportunities to do different things. Friday's are more different than ever before. In the morning, we seek time to search deep for Jesus together. And in the afternoon we go to the college for ministry. In the ministry, there are English classes where we go to speak English and just help out in whatever area they need, but where we also can have a personal relationship with others and speak of Christ. We recently went to Jalisco where the hurricane hit to help out there. We stayed for a week and worked hard in whatever areas they needed. It was a beautiful experience to love so many people. Lastly we had a team from Canada come for a week to love our people of Mexico City. They loved us as well. They blessed us in prayer and a wonderful meal. We love having people come to love alongside of us.
