Day 1 in Mexico...

We all got here very safely last night around 9:00p.m. For those of you wondering, our entire team made it. We were able to all fit in two vans and travel down together without any interference. We did not encounter any difficulties; in fact, both vans got a green light to travel over the border. It was a significant answer to prayer!

The alarm went off at 6:00 a.m this morning and we all shot right up ready and excited to get to work. Breakfast was at 6:30, and work started at 7:30, but FIRST we got our tour of the ranch! We girls worked on leveling part of the ground in the multi-purpose building, so that we can pour the concrete later on this week. As for the guys, they worked on preparing the ground to build a concrete ramp. We all worked hard in the sun and were blessed with a wonderful breeze. After work we were famished! Kim and her marvelous mother made us lunch, and for the rest of this day we have been catching up on our rest and devotions. God made this place so incredibly beautiful! We are all bonding in Christ! This is only the beggining and God has so much more in store! James 1:2 states " Counting it all joy " in everything we do we need to count it all joy in Jesus Christ!

P.S. Our internet is too slow to post pictures! We've been trying to, but it just won't upload. :(
