The Coult Family: Wordless Wednesday (Thursday Edition!)

Wordless Wednesday (Thursday Edition!)

Well, not exactly "wordless".

What do you do when you have an upstairs apartment and want to build a deck and put new, nicer pillars under it?

Yes. This concrete and steel building is being supported by 3 rough-cut 2x4s while they pour new pillars

You hammer a couple of good, solid 2x4 studs in there and knock out the old, ugly pillars. Then you can pour new pillars and connect your deck to the house. Would anyone like to venture a guess as to how many pounds are being held up by those three 2x4s? Keep in mind that everything here is constructed with concrete and steel.

I hope the residents are staying with friends till the construction is over!!!

We Are Here

We're a homeschool family from Oregon, transplanted in 2006 to sunny Sinaloa, Mexico. We'd like to welcome you to our family homepage where we share snapshots of our life and ministry here in Mexico. Below is a clickable list of article topics. Click on one that looks interesting and read all posts in that category. At the bottom of this column is a blog archive where you can see what we were doing (for instance) in May of last year. You can also click on the "Read All About It!" button to read our most recent ministry update letter at our ministry blogsite.

Sometimes we find that our life, our ministry and our schooling blur together until we can't really tell where one ends and the other begins. I guess that's the way it is in homeschool families! Most of the posts at this site deal with Mexican culture, life as gringos in Mexico, photos of mission teams who've come down to visit and various things our family does/is doing/has done with the churches here. Once you're tired of reading here, you might also want to stop by our homeschool blog or one of our kids' blogs. Links to those sites are below as well. I think there's enough to keep you reading for hours!!!

But enough of this! Go read all about it! Be sure to leave us a comment! We really like comments!!!

How YOU can get involved

We've been asked how a church or individual could contribute financially to our ministry. Well, here's one way! PayPal has developed these handy-dandy buttons which connect to their secure site where you can make a donation. All contributions go directly to the mission field. If you designate your gift "Purchase Bibles", we purchase Bibles with 100% of your gift. If you'd like to support a national pastor with your gift, we'll give the gift directly to him. If there is no designation, we will pray and use your gift as God directs us.

If you desire to make a tax-deductible contribution, you'll need to snail-mail it to our home church in Oregon:
