Mexico- Safe and Sound

Dougie and Levi ready to conquer the flight
  Good Morning!  Yesterday was a pretty crazy day...up at 4am, traveling from 7:30am-9pm, with flight delays and all that but God is Good!  We are here safe and sound and our Spirits are high!

  We had a big lunch/dinner at In and Out Burger in San Diego, then drove from San Diego to Ensenada Mexico where we met another delicious meal waiting for us!


  On the plane from Pittsburgh to Chicago, one of our folks was talking to their neighbors and shared all about what we were doing in our blue shirts and where we were going for God's glory.  By the end of that quick flight God moved the people sitting next to our ACAC person and they gave $50 to the cause...just at random, no prompting.  They were Roman Catholic and were overjoyed at the prospect of helping God be glorified.

  That is one small story of God's goodness already.

  Once we got our tummies full, the leaders Brian and his wife Erin brought us up to speed on culture here, our tasks and the schedule for the week.  Let's just say this week is going to be busy but AMAZING.

  We wil be doing construction in the mornings, VBS in the afternoons and many other great things.  As we go on in the blog we will have students voice their thoughts via video and writing and we will continue to update via pictures as well.  It's exciting to have this opportunity to share this journey with you.  Please pray for our students to depend on the Lord for strength, courage and deep love for both the people here and one another as well as safety as we travel and work on houses.

  After all the scheduling and orientation here onsite, we headed over to Tacos Pablanos to get a little night cap of authentic tacos, before we headed to bed and yes they are very very delicious!

  If there are any questions, please feel free to comment on the blog here and we will answer them.  We have lights out soon here in Mexico but let me finish by saying: Dios Le Bendiga! (God Bless You!)

Happy even AFTER delays!
