Mexico Mission Trip 6/18/07

Today was day one of working with the church. Our building is about 15 min. from our hotel. Rick said we have the best church with the best location with the best cooks. I think I hear him say that every year. But the statement is really true. It is a great place to work. People are so friendly and grateful for us being there.

Our main job is laying block and building walls. It's going well so far. We worked a 12 hour day today. Barry is a slave driver :) Jk...Actually, Rick had some things that had to get done today so we honored that request and kept going. We are all very tired but the work felt rewarding today.

The rest of the day was going out to eat and having our devo.

Everyone is enjoying themselves and working hard. The group is growing closer each moment and we work very well as a team. God has truly blessed us so far beyond what we need. Everyone sends their love and thanks for the comments and keep them coming....

Here are some pictures from the first day (Sunday). More from today will be up soon (I'm going to get some up but I need to go to bed....)

Please continue to keep us in your prayers.....
