June 13 - 20th twenty two students and adults will go to Tijuana Mexico on a mission trip.  Your prayers are essential for us to be able to safely travel and see the opportunities God has for us.   Watch for more updates before and during the trip. 

 

Sorry we have not updated sooner.  We have been trying but just recently figured out thing have not been getting through.  Everything and one is fine.  We landed in San Diego and met up with our friends from NE.  We then headed to Lutheran Border Concerns to pick up our boxes of supplies.  Everything arrived well.  We then shopped at Home Depot and the grocery store for supplies.   It was then over the border . . . well kind of.  We ran into our first hurdle when all the people got into Mexico but non of the luggage and supplies.  John Perry, I and a few friends from NE convinced the border guards to let us back in the US where we started over in prayer and moved to plan "B".  A few hours later we were all reunited at the mission.  That is the power of prayer! 

 

Today it was off to work.  We went to see our house sites which are on some really adventurous rodes!   Some chose to walk to the sites.  We are blessed to have experience drivers but please continue to pray for safety in driving.   We also cut our wood as two sites do not have power.  We also prepainted all our walls.  After the hard work we were rewarded with some shopping and soccer with the locals.  We are just about ready to head to devotions and time of praise. 

 

Some of our group will be helping lead worship tomorrow with a vocal quartet, reading scripture and a message from Pastor Adrian.  (He happens to really be from WI so we like him already!)   

 

Thank you for your continued prayers.  Thank you for your patience with communicaiton. 

 

Love to you ALL!
