Take a break from life and sit down with a child and read him or her a story. Relax in the valley of La Misión with Bob, Tricia, Tim, Rosi and their new baby sister, Leah. Come with them as they make new friends and share God's good ways. Attending classes only half a day gave them plenty of time to roam the great out-of-doors in the year-round, spring-like climate of Northern Baja California, Mexico. Come with them swimming, fishing and playing on the rocks and the sand of the beach. Go with them climbing the rugged mountain, go bike riding down the steep hill from their little yellow house, or play at the neighborhood ball-field. Travel with them on mission trips over the mountains into barren deserts. Watch their dad pulling and filling teeth, or sewing up wounds, or baptizing new converts. Help them set up the big camp meeting tent in the valley and make memories that have lasted a lifetime. "Though we have left the valley, it has not left us. Our family, is a part of the La Misión valley history, as we discovered on some of our recent trips there. La Misión is part of who we are, because we spent our childhood there. It is home to some of our earliest and always some of the best memories of our lives." -Bob, Tricia, Tim, and Rosi Huskey
