The Coult Family: Fun Fact Friday -- The Sinaloan Moving Van

Fun Fact Friday -- The Sinaloan Moving Van

In the course of our 17 years of married life, we've moved a few times and each of those moves had its "memorable moments". There are a couple of pictures in my mind of very precarious loads -- one being the time we fastened the galvanized dog kennel to the flatbed trailer and piled all our earthly belongings into the "cage". I'm sure we were quite a sight, but we were nothing compared to this photo taken on Highway 15 in Mexico!

As far as I know, there are no "U-Haul" type places down here. If you want to move it, you just move it. Hey, you'll notice that this guy does have tail lights. Pretty snappy! Note: this is one of the reasons we recommend that you travel during daylight hours in Mexico. You don't want to miss these photo opportunities!!!

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:
