Missions Update from the Sankeys

A missions update from Melodie Sankey...

Dear Friends,
I wanted to write and let you know how my first birthday on the
mission field has been. I have had a good birthday although I hate
to admit it's 34 already! In
Spanish they would say "Estoy muy vieja" - I am very old! (I think
that's right) lol.......There's some other word for old but I can't
think of it right now.
We attended the service this morning in La Florida, one of the
border churches and then had dinner with the Luna Family in Soledad. They have been so gracious to us - inviting us for dinner every Sunday! Sis. Esther is a wonderful cook and they are really sweet people. I usually contribute dessert, drinks and ice so today I took my own birthday cake to Mexico..smiles...Bro. Homero had a nice laugh changing the candle numbers I had brought around to say 43! They sang "Feliz Cumpleanos" to me while I blew out my candles. I
received great gifts and cards in the mail and e-cards/phone calls
from family and friends; all in all, it has been a good birthday.
Tomorrow is Marc's big day - first day of language school! He's so
excited and I'm excited for him!
Love to you all,
Melodie
