Mexico Mission Update: Sunday June 15
Greetings from Mexico!
We got across the border safely and with out any real issue. We went to church in Nuevo Laredo at the church that Paco just planted two years ago. It was enjoyable to be at the church and worship with some of the Mexican Christians there.
One moment that stuck out was during the sing we sang in english and the Mexican Christians sang in Spanish. However, while singing "We Will Glorify" we all came together in unison singing "Hallelujah". It was really impactful in the sense that we are so different yet through Christ we have anything in common.
From there we continued to travel and ended safely in Monterey. It was great to see Rick Owens again and get to talk with him. The hotel is wonderful and way beyond what we need. We ate in the Marketplace and had a devotional together.
Tomorrow we begin the work. For the first time ever we are working on a building that we worked on two years ago. This is a new experience but one that will be great to rekindle some old friendship that we had from before.
Everyone is doing well and getting ready for bed. It's suppose to be VERY hot this week. But we are ready to work as a team and accomplish what we are to begin.
Thanks for the prayers.....

Matt - Thanks for the update. Hope you guys have an awesome week. Let everyone know I miss them and wish I was there, but my in-law's 50th anniversary celebration was great.

While you were describing your worship time, I sang the song and when I came to the Hallelujah, another song popped into my mind "I can Only Imagine" and chill on my arms/legs followed!!! What an awesome experience.
Thank you for keeping us updated. Prayers and Love,
Mom and Dad

Matt,
Are you working at Caesar's church? That is great if you are we built so many wonderful relationships there. Can't wait to read more about the work you are doing- you are surrounded in prayer.
