Home Invasion!



This morning we woke up to a surprise, toilet paper covered our cars, was hanging from our trees, and our roof! Evidently someone jumped the wall and entered our yard in the middle of the night. How they entered with our guard dogs (one mellow Lab and 2 Cocker Spaniels) on duty is one of our questions. We suspected that they were people known to us and our dogs! This was further confirmed when we found four peace offerings with names on them. How did they know that I like Reeses peanut butter cups? The culprits left further evidence in a text message sent at 2:20am. They are friends of the family who are also students at the Bible Institute. Could it be they were not completely happy with their grade for the course Scott taught last month? The next question is, what will happen to their homes?


On a serious note, we have lived in safety during our years in Tijuana, with very few things ever stolen from our yard and never has anyone broken into our home. With the rise of crime in Mexico and especially the big cities, we covet your prayers for continued safety for ourselves, fellow missionaries, and friends.
