March in Review

March - where do I begin...


Micah turned 27 on March 2nd, Cody and Tiffany share the same Birthday so we had Master's and Interns over to celebrate with us. 

Last June Micah officially became the youth pastor in addition to leading Master's so basically he was doing 2 full-time jobs and needless to say it was wearing on him. To make a long story short Pastor Rick encouraged us to get away for a few days without Mack.  As hard as it was for me to leave him we were all better for it.  Micah and I enjoyed a wonderful time on the Riverwalk.

Out of no where Mack began having diarrhea, after 2 doctor visits and lab work that came back normal we decided to switch his formula and realized he has a milk allergy.  This didn't completely surprise me since I was also allergic to milk as a baby.  He's been doing a lot better since we've switched his formula.  Yesterday he had his 4 month check-up.  Weighing in at 13 lbs 1 oz and 25 1/4 inches long he is in the 10% bracket which is a little under average but the doctor said that's right where he expected him to be with his weight gain history and said he's doing great!  A lot of people say he's long but he just looks that way because he's lanky.  He also got his 2nd round of immunizations which this time has caused him to have a fever.  He's just been very lethargic the last day and wants to be held. Here's my baby after his shots - it only last a couple minutes.

Due to the increased violence and unrest in Mexico, Master’s Commission is no longer working there. We have stopped our current projects as well as cancelled all our Outreach plans for the the upcoming summer including the summer internship.

Also, after much prayer and discussion, we have made the decision that our current class of Master’s Commission will be our last. This ministry has thrived for 16 years and been instrumental in many of our lives. However, as the leadership we believe that God has something new and different in store for us in the future. While we do not know specifics of that at this time, we are humbly taking it one step at a time.

This year for Spring Break, Micah took several of our youth students to Six Flags in San Antonio. Unfortunately one of the vans got broken into and 9 people's belongings were stolen including Micah's laptop. Overall though I think they had a great time!

Well it seems like there's so much more to recap but I've pretty much covered the big events so I'll leave it at that if you've even made it to the end :)
