PALMERS ON MISSION
"...to the praise of His glorious grace" - Ephesians 1:6
We've Arrived!
After months of dreaming, deliberating,
planning and preparing, we have finally
made the move to Mexico City. We arrived
here safely, with our pets and all our bags,
on Tuesday, March 31st.
It was difficult leaving friends and family
behind in the US, but like anyone who's
ever moved to a different place can tell you,
you can have your "home" in more than one
place, and what a blessing that is!
God is writing a new chapter in our lives
and we are excited for all that is in store for
us here in Mexico City.
We are deeply grateful to our family, friends,
and supporters for believing in us and for
supporting our plans. This strong base of
support is what allows us to do what we do.
So we thank each one of you for being a

vital part of our lives and our work. We pray

that God will bless you richly according to
the immeasurable riches of His grace found
in Jesus Christ our Lord.

I've Graduated!
It is with great pleasure that I announce my
graduation from Sunset International Bible
Institute's flagship Bible program. I started
this journey almost three years ago in the
Fall of 2012, and now, it's come to a fulfilling
end.
My time at SIBI was filled with various joys
but many challenges as well, but it is an
experience I wouldn't trade for anything.
During this time, I not only gained a better
understanding of Scripture, but I also
developed a deeper relationship with my
Heavenly Father and with my friends and
family.
Having the support of my wife, Dani, as I
went through the school made a
tremendous, positive difference to my
experience. When I would be worried about
my grades (which was always), she would

people.
And then, there was our family and friends,
supporting us and cheering us along the
way. Without any one of these key
components, our time in Lubbock would
have looked much different, and probably
not in a good way.

...But, as it is, we have a God who is

eternally faithful, and who works all things
for the good of those who love Him and are
called according to His purpose. To Him be
glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
forever and ever. Amen.

we live! It is one of the older parts of
town and is not as dense as other parts
that are to the North and East.

We like where we live! It is pretty centrally

located with transportation options all
around. There is also a supermarket right
across the street from us, which is nice. We
live about a 10-minute walk away from the
Rocha missionary family and the AIMers
will live within a 10-minute walking radius
from us. This is also one of the more safer
parts of town and has a high police
presence.

Living in this gigantic city has been a major

learning experience for us. Getting
anywhere takes at least half an hour, and on
Fridays, it's almost not worth it to leave the
house at all! Ok, that's an exaggeration but
that's how it feels.
The public transportation system is very
efficient but also heavily crowded during the
morning and evening commuting hours.
There are also thousands of taxis that ply
the streets and they are pretty reasonably
priced.

Lubbock. Clothing, electronics, furniture,
and kitchen appliances are all considerably
more expensive than what you would find
in the States.
But, we love this city! It has captured our
hearts since the very first time we set foot
here and we are excited to get to know it
better.
And on that note, we'd love for you to come
and visit us here!

English Classes
Starting May 30, we will be offering free,
weekly English classes at the church
building, close to downtown. This will be a
joint effort made by Dani, myself, the Rocha
family, the Molina family, the AIMers, and
other church members.

Ministries
There are a lot of ministry opportunities
available to us here. Our focus right now is
on establishing solid relationships with the
church members. This process takes time
but it is the most vital piece of any ministry.
We do this by visiting families in their
