Dear Mom,
its been really great being out here in Mexico. I really have been missing you and all the things you do for me that I have had to do myself now. I hope that you don't miss me too badly... oh, well, I guess I should write to more than just my own mother. :)
It being day five, we are all really tired and could use your prayers to keep us energized. We poured half the cement for the porch/carport we have been working on; that was a crazy time of throwing buckets, moving rocks, and getting dirty. At 3pm we went to the brickyard for Bible club. We did our songs and puppet perfomances for the kids, and they seemed to enjoy singing along and laughing at us. Most of us spent time reading spanish books to the kids as well. Some of the team tried and failed, but that's ok because the kids got a kick out of it.
After the brickyard we went back to tthe ranch to pick up our favorite van driver, who proceeded to take us into town and find the local hubbub (the Mexican Chihuahua Mall). We had our first taste of local food, which was ultimately accepted by the group, even though it had some cactus involved. They were called gorditas. Although we were all pretty full, most of us went to get a little taste of home at McDonalds. (By the way, Jessie was wearing her seatbelt, which we thought you might like to know...that is, if your name is Mrs. M. :)
It's pretty late as I am writting this, so I am going to keep it short. We will put pictures up tomorrow.
Goodbye and goodnight.
-Tyler
P.S. Sorry if this doesn't make sense; we really are tired.
And I really do miss you Mom. Thanks for the letters.

Day Four in Mexico
Hello everyone! I'm sorry I didn't post this last night; I was just having too much fun laughing, chatting, praying, and singing with our girls. :)
The highlights of the day - for me, at least - were laundry, lunch, and the brickyard.
Yesterday was laundry day! Instead of helping with work around the ranch, Tali and I got to assist Kim and Mrs. H in the laundry duties. Let me tell you, Tali and I didn't mind trading heavy wheelbarrows, and large shovelfuls of dirt for baskets of clean laundry and buckets of clothespins! :D
For lunch, we feasted on good ol' mac n cheese and hot dogs! Mmmmm! I've been unable to come to a conclusive decision, but I believe this meal just might pass up our grilled cheese and tomato soup lunch.
We have been so blessed with the most delicious meals!
We also took our second trip to the brickyard yesterday. Some of the team helped build the foundation for an outhouse, and some of us played with kids again. Bet you can't guess what I did? ;) Yes, I got to see Jasmine again! I can't express how exhuberant my heart is being with this precious girl who has constantly pervaded my thoughts over the past year! When I went to play with her yesterday, she brought out a few photos. (For those of you who don't know, last year we printed out a handful of pictures of our experiences at the brickyard and left them with Jasmine's family.) Jasmine held out a tattered photo to me. As I looked closely, I saw that it was a picture taken of the two of us last year. She showed it to me with the biggest smile on her face! I couldn't hide mine either! I'm always reminded of her, because of all the trip pictures hanging in my room. It is so neat to know that she, too, has kept pictures of our team from last year. How cool that she remembers us - not only our faces, but our love. I'm so thrilled because today is Bible club at the brickyard! I can't wait to go back, and this time to sing songs and perform puppet shows.
Thank you all for your continued prayers. Don't stop! ;) You guys are our support network, and your prayers mean more than anything!
Here are a few specific ways you can lift us before the Throne:
1. For renewed team unity, especially that we continue to pray together as a group and seek the Lord's wisdom in all situations
2. For Bible club today, that we would remember our cues and lyrics, and that it would be more than just a fun performance
3. For work today. Rumor has it we're back to cement work, so pray for special endurance. (By the way, my cememt burns are almost gone!)
4. For our team mascot, Churchill. He's growing fast! Pray that he will be big and strong enough to support himself by the time we leave.
5. ALSO, please pray that we get rain sometime while we are here! A rainstorm would be positively wonderful!

Day Three In Mexico!
Wow! What a crazy couple of days we have had so far! I can't believe its only day three!
We have covered the story of the baby bunny, right? Well last night, a few of the most dedicated bunny sitters decided to take shifts waking up every few hours to feed baby Churchill. I, however, was most definitely not willing to sacrifice my precious sleep for a small bunny. (Yes, you may call me cruel) So I took my mattress out into the main room and had an incredible night's rest. Today followed a similar pattern as the previous days: Breakfast at 6:30, devotions at 7:00, work from 7:30 to 1, lunch at 1:30ish. (Wahoo!)
Monte, (our task master), was feeling quite sickly today, and was unable to work with us, but we continued on! The boys were set on a leveling job preparing for another driveway/cement job. They looked like they had it pretty hard, always hitting the same amount of ground with the pickaxes and sledgehammers. Though frequently when we looked over they were missing...I have no idea where they went during those times. The beginning of the day we had a few girls back on our previous leveling job, and the rest of the girls plus Farrell, finding and moving rocks to where the boys were preparing the driveway for cement. Phew! It was a lot of work. I personally prefer cement work. More taxing on the body, but much more entertaining and busy! There were two exciting things that happened today, the girls got stuck in a small sand storm, and the boys got stuck in a bigger one! It was quite the thrill of the day. I don't think it is reasonable for any place to be so windy; it's just not safe. It was like a tiny hurricane all day! (Minus everything that makes it a hurricane except for the wind) So the girls got their leveling job finished, with minor exceptions where we needed Monte's help, and the boys (I think) completed their task as well! Tomorrow we will begin the hectic cementing once again! Yahoo! =D
After lunch we had a relaxed day. Most of the group spent a large amount of time in the common room over in the girl’s dorm rooms. We all spent a large amount of time preparing the puppet skits, and some time practicing songs. By the time we were done, it was time for dinner!
We had a fantastic surprise for the rest of the evening in the form of a dinner guest! His name was Fito (sp?), and he is a Mexican missionary who just finished his four years here at Rancho Siloe. What an incredible time we had with him! He came to eat dinner with us (delicious tacos courtesy again of Kim and Mrs. H!), and share about his experiences. Sitting around the dinner table he shared with us about his life prior to NTM (through a translator). It was so interesting to hear about his life! Then he stopped his story short and told us that he would continue his story after the scheduled game of soccer. At first my thoughts were..."hmm, soccer after dinner, I think not." But my attitude quickly changed and I joined in on the game. =) The soccer game in my opinion was one of the best parts of the day! Nothing beats a great competitive game of soccer when you think you're ready for bed =) Turns out, I save up EXTRA energy just for such occasions! =D
My other favorite part of the day was after the soccer game when Fito continued his story. This time, however, he was encouraging us with our work and our relationship with God. It was incredible getting a new perspective on things. You know, I finally realized tonight listening to him speak to us, that God uses trips like this to spice up our relationship with Him. He didn't leave me out in the dessert for no good reason.. In fact, it just so happens to be for the best reason! How can I argue with God's plans for me, right? So yes, the evening with Fito was incredible =)
Did I happen to mention that the Brickyard was incredible??? No, I suppose I didn't. Well, once again I saw God's perfect plan for me! About 30 minutes prior to leaving for the Brickyard, I got my turn on the computer, yahoo! Right? Yes, it was very nice; I found that I had many emails from my dear ones at home.. But reading them made me miss everything much more. So, I decided to sob. And I did so through the reading and responding of every email until it was time to go to the Brickyard... I got in the van with my puffy red eyes slightly less than thrilled about getting in a van with everyone when I would probably start crying again. To my surprise though, I didn't cry any more! Once we got to the Brickyard, my homesickness left me and I was able to focus on where I was at the time. Wow! What an experience! How did God know exactly what I needed to help me through my hardest time? Well, He did, and it worked. =) I can now read my emails from home with anticipation and excitement, but no tears. I am perfectly content with being where God has me for the time He has me here. Thank you all for the prayers, they worked!
Also, to fill you in on the other prayer requests:
The few people that were pelted with water during the water fights are not sick! =)
I am content where I am but do so appreciate your prayers.
We all were able to work in harmony today and accomplished wonderful things.
And no body died! yayayayayayayay!
A few new prayer requests:
That...
-good health would continue to circulate around the ranch.
-we would continue to work and socialize in harmony.
-we would be productive and energetic for our work ahead.
-Monte would feel better for our long day of cementing tomorrow.
-we would shine Christ's love to the children at the Brickyard.
-Fito would be blessed while doing God's work in Mexico.
That's all I can think of for now, but we so appreciate all the prayer and love you continue to pour on us!
We love you all!

Day 2 in Mexico
Dearest friends and family,
Sorry we didn't post yesterday; we've been having trouble with the internet. [This post was actually written on Tuesday, but we again had trouble posting.]
Today was an absolutely wonderful day. After waking up very early, eating breakfast as a group, and doing devotions, we gathered outside to begin work--cement! Unlike yesterday, today all of us got to work together, building a ramp up to one of the sidewalks. The process contained a multitude of jobs, and all of us were kept continuously busy, shoveling gravel, filling water buckets, scooping cement powder, running back and forth with cement-filled wheelbarrows, and finally creating a beautiful ramp. When the job was done, and the cement was beginning to dry, Jessie carved Thrive Youth '08 into its edge. A job well done--what satisfaction we all felt!
During the course of the morning, Gary (one of the missionaries) found an itty-bitty baby jack rabbit, whose mother had died. All of us (especially the girls, I must admit) were extremely thrilled to have a new member added to our team, and took him to our hearts immediately. As she cuddled him in her hands, Jessie named him Winston Churchill. We found some powdered milk in the kitchen and have been feeding him every couple hours ever since. In fact, we have brought the little dear in his little box to our room, and are assigning shifts to feed him during the night. How dearly I already love the sweet bunny!
After work, we of course ate lunch and took our siesta. When all of those necessary evils (haha) had been taken care of, we again gathered together, this time to head to the Brick Yard. The Brick Yard is an extremely impoverished area where many families live and make bricks for their income. As we drove up through the dust and gravel, I was overcome by the abundance of blessings God has showered upon us in America. Compared to our big houses, green lawns, and sparkling pools, these people have nothing. Trash clung to the brush. There were piles of junk everywhere. Glass and scraps of metal littered the ground. And yet, the people are beautiful. The children embraced us and loved us in a way I have never before experienced. They know no favoritism, no judgement. They saw us only as their playmates, and so they played with us with a rigor that was exhausting and yet envigorating.
Visiting the Brick Yard was especially neat for the people who had gone last year. One of the little girls, Jasmine, actually remembered the team, especially jumping through rain puddles with Sarah and Jessie. We will tell more about the children on a later post.
Here are a few pictures from yesterday and today. Here's to hoping they actually show up!!
Please continue to keep us all in your prayers.
A few prayer requests are...
-Healing of Kate and Jessie's colds, Sarah's insect bites, Tali and Jessie's cement burns
-That Kate would feel especially loved, as she is feeling particularly homesick
-Energy! It's late tonight, and the workday begins early again tomorrow
-That Josh, Kenzy, and David would not get sick; in the midst of a water fight with kids at the brickyard, they got unclean water in their mouths.
-For Josh, Kim, and Mrs. H. (Kim's mom), as they continue to lead us
-For our new baby, Churchill, and those of us waking up to feed him.
-Also that we would have an effective ministry that is centered on glorifiying God
Thanks for all your prayers!

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

We Made It!
After a full day of travel, we have safely arrived at the ranch!
Thank you all for praying! God has (yes, again!) been faithful!
More to come later.
I'd say it's time for bed.
We start work early in the morning, so you can be praying for stamina for everyone.
We love you all!

Safety Concerns
Hello,
I am writing here at 6am in Davenport before we leave to update the families of the students and those praying for us concerning safety. I have been in contact with our NTM co-ordinator and have discussed the recent violence on the border. There has been violence against the border officials near Juarez. NTM has not only advised their missionaries that it is not safe, they have advised us to avoid it as well. We will be crossing the border in New Mexico instead.
For similar safetly concerns no one will be traveling by bus. We will send the majority down tonight by van with Monte and then my wife and two others down the next day along with another missionary and their vehicle.
We are keeping up to speed on the safety issues and will not take unecessary risks. Monte, who is our trip co-ordinator on that end, will advise us even when we arrive. Please be assured that we won't do anything that the organization of NTM wouldn't do. And we have to get permission from them to even enter Mexico and work. We have their knowledge and wisdom as a base supporting us.
**
Please be praying for the violence to stop for the people involved and so that we can continue this trip.
Pray for our safety and for confidence in the Lord.
Pray for those back home who are worrying and nervous to put their hope in the Lord.
I will keep you updated through here as often as I can. Thank you once again families for your support and allowing your students to be part of this. We are doing our best to take care of them and to be wise.
