Family of six drives 3,000 miles to Mexico. That sounds like a headline for a disaster. Actually, our first 12 hour day of driving went very well.

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!
Arrival day is Sunday, March 29th.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
PICK FOR THE DAY
Recently our family visited a resort town named Ixtapa. We were delighted to get to visit with the many Americans on vacation. These Americans were interested in the details of our lives in Mexico. A common question was, "Aren't you concerned for your family's safety?" Recent news had reached them about the the gang activity in a nearby town.
My answer was "No, God had told us 20 years ago that we would be taking this trip. And, if..." and one lady finished my sentence for me, "God had brought you to Mexico, than He will protect you while you are here."
Couldn't have said it better myself!

Beautiful Mexico Beaches!
Faith never knows where it is being led, But it knows and loves the One who is leading. Oswald Chambers
HOW MUCH STUFF WILL WE BE ABLE TO FIT INTO ONE MINI VAN TO MAKE THE 3,000 MILE TREK HOME?
As much as possible!
2 adults
6 teens
4 months worth of inexpensive Mexico shopping.
Whatever it takes, even if we have to start throwing our clothes overboard.

Gee, I have never been to a blog site before, this is pretty cool. Phyllis and I have prayed for your safe journey and so far it sounds like it has been pretty smooth! Praise God! Hope you enjoy the WARM weather down there by the coast of Mexico, the snow here is only about 2 inches deep right now! Ha! We are going to miss the kids at the youth group meeting here at our house this next weekend, we will try to ship you some pictures of the fun though.
Continuing to pray for you all.

Hello Knutz Family!!! Great pictures...I have to know, did the pigeon poop on Molly's head?? Lilly has news...she is maddly in love with our Japanese Bantam "Fuji." They are practically inseperable and I will probably send you a wedding announcement soon. She doesn't seem to mind "robbing the cradle." Fugi isn't even a year old yet!!! Evidently, she still has moves :)
Miss you all...especially Josh's hair.
