So I just completed week 20 with this pregnancy. Or as Torre likes to say, “month five.” Just wanted to send an updated picture and thank you all for praying for me and this little one. Lord willing we will find out Thursday, November 20th what we are having!
We are so very thankful for our doctor here. We continue to pray for a our health as we had into the cold season here. And by cold I mean it’s cold outside and inside.

Five months
You read that right. We had SNOW today.
Let me tell you, it was God’s gift to us. With the holidays coming up, the sun going down at 6pm, and just plain ol’ tiredness setting in, one can’t help feeling a big down. I was feeling just like that yesterday. Talking with God and once again giving life to Him. When the snow came down today I couldn’t help but get choked up. I felt as if it was God’s gift to his child here. “Narah, I am still with you, I love you and I will always take care of you.”
So here are some pictures of God’s gift to His children, the Meissners’, here in Mexico.
The dusting.
The last time Turin saw snow he was two months old. Now he'll be two in December.
Don't worry, this was taken before Papa knew where the gloves and hat were stored.
"Ohhh"
"Ahhh!!!"
"Cheese!"
DoriNachos anyone?
We can purchace a lot of things without even leaving the front yard! On a regular basis we can get large jugs of water, gas tanks for the house, bread, tortillas, empanadas, DoriNachos and corn in a cup with cream (both yummy junk food), and on occasion a man will come by to sharpen kitchen knives.
Turin and Moby
Turin has changed so much in the year we’ve been here. First of all, he’s officially lived in Mexico longer than in the States. Here are a few fast facts on our changing boy who only a year ago couldn’t crawl and was eating all his food pureed…
He’s signing about six “words”….He uses a few actual words including: hat, Sit (that’s what he calls our dog), Mama (for both Mom and Dad), book, Hi, Hola, cracker, and galleta…well maybe for the last one it comes out “Lala”….He answers any question asked to him with complete udderences. ie: “Turin what are you doing?” “Ummm Grapshoud hsudldjahd shdud.” “What are you going to do after that?” “Uhhh dkdksj sjdkdfjj sksls.” Our friend Jay is convinced that when he does start talking it will be in complete sentences. I’m not sure if we’re ready for that….He plays with dad all morning and wants mom all afternoon….He can show you his muscles and blink his eyes when told “Haz ojitos (little eyes)”….He plays well with kids three and up. Kids his own age make him nervous….And yes, he can feed himself using a fork and spoon.
He’s a weird one, but we’ll keep him.
I resisted the blogging wave, telling people it was just “one more thing” to update. Our NTM website was an example of how much I disliked updating. But NTM came to me! They have changed the website update to the blog style. I’m hoping this will encourage more updates on our family and our ministry as a blog seems more like an open conversation, but only time will tell. So welcome to our webpage, or is it a blog?
