Day 1

Well, Lord willing in a few hours we will be crossing the border into Mexico and heading out to Guachochi. It's amazing that no matter how many times we go on this trip, it's always a fresh and exciting experience. The group dynamic may change but where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is unity... And you can feel the bond that we have in Christ as we set off to minister. We started off this morning at Ed and Debbie's with a great reunion of previous workers and fellow travelers. Adding to our number this year are some new students from Christian Heritage Academy in Oklahoma, Josh and Candace Rose (the couple who have been teaching English at the school in Guachochi), Josh's mother Kathy, some friends of theirs Larry and his daughter Lilly, as well as my brother-in law Gayle...who will now affectionately be called Juanito. Please continue to pray for us as we cross the border this morning, pick up supplies in Mexico and head out to Guachochi. Pray for a safe crossing, expediency in getting the supplies, wisdom and alertness for our drivers, and a general spirit of cooperation and fellowship among the travelers.
