Mi Casa es tu Casa is the saying Mexicans are famous for, "my house is your house." With this simple phrase Mexicans invite you to experience the hospitality for which they are famous.

At times things can get confusing. For example, a few months back we went to the doctor with Andres and the doctor said, "Feel free to call me at your house." Obviously, she didn't live with us, but she refered to her house and "your" house and meant that we should feel free to call her at her home phone if Andres wasn't feeling better.

Well, with this as an introduction, we want to ask for your prayers as we look for "your" house (if you haven't caught on - our house, that you are welcome in whenever you come to Mexico).

It turns out that our rent is on the more expensive side for us and we are seeking to cut expenses in whatever way we can. Seeing that our rent expenses are our biggest monthly expenses, we have been looking to find something more within our budget.

Could you pray with us that God would provide a place that is about the same size (3 bedrooms), plus a parking stall, but cheaper? Does it sound like we are asking for too much? Maybe, but we know that nothing is too much for the Lord to do.

We currently park our car about 9 blocks away, since we don't have a parking stall in our current apartment. We would very much like to see God provide something closer, although the exercise is good.

Thanks for your prayers as we look for "your" house, here in Mexico.
