Buenos dias from Mexico

It’s Monday morning and we are all enjoying the lovely, dry eighty-degree climate. Most of us are working on painting, fixing roofs, preparing for VBS or assisting in the medical clinic. We started off the day on a full tank of delicious Mexican breakfast. The hospitality down here puts all of us to shame. Then we held our morning meeting in our area churches where we went through a devotional together. We learned and discussed the ways the enemy tries to distract us and take our eyes off the goal. We know that we need to die to our flesh and serve others before we serve ourselves. We all need to remember that we are loved by god with an everlasting love that comes to us through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

As we look back over the past 54 hours we are thankful for many things. We boarded our planes without any problems. We landed a little over two hours later in sunny San Diego. Though it took two hours receive our rental vans, it was an improvement over last years three hours. We all loaded up and made our way to hometown buffet in Calexico where we had our last taste of American food. With our stomachs full and bags worth of Wal-Mart goodies we made our way to the border where we crossed with no difficulty at about 7:30. We were especially thankful that the trailer full of all our luggage crossed without any problems.

We arrived at our towns and spent a nice evening getting to know our home stay families. After a good night sleep we woke up to spend Easter in Mexico. It was a very nice day of rest and fellowship and
our first taste of Mexican food. At 5:30 which was really 6:40 the Easter service started and we packed out the sanctuary of the Victoria church with over 400 people. We celebrated the sacrifice of Jesus with our brothers and sisters, sang songs, and pastor Brett gave an Easter message. At the end of the service pastor Isaac shared the schedule for the week.
Thanks for all your prayers. Please continue to pray for strength, health and energy. Pray that leaders would have wisdom and patience and that the students would have patience and eagerness to serve,
love, and grow in their faith as well. Thanks for your support and your prayers. We couldn’t do it without you.

God bless, The Mexico Mission Team
