Day 1, Monday June 15






















Arrivals

Greetings from Ensenada, Mexico! After a 5 hour bus ride (amen and thankyou Lyle), an over nite stay inMilwaukee, a 4 hour flight to San Diego and finally a 3 hour van ride into Mexico - we have arrived!!

Praise God fo rtravel mercies! Everything was un-eventful - until - Jason's van full of 9 people started having serious problems, acting up and slowing down. Wait,, Who prayed for adventure?? Craig? Mark??

Well, God provides adventure, provides opportunities to pray - and pray some more, andtoday He provided answers to prayer. Amen!

Yes, the bus made it, and the rental co. is bringing a new van all the way down to Mexico on Tueday! Praise the Lord!

This afternoon (Monday) we are getting settled into our rooms, we are meeting students from 3 other states and hanging out with YWAM students from all over the globe. Wow!

Already today we have had many meaningful conversations with our team of students. Please continue to pray for their openness to God's leading.

We are continuibg to pray for God to bring the students (and leaders) closer to Himself. We pray for brokenness which can lead to new beginnings and fresh starts and we continue tp pray for open hearts among our students as they learn important mision and outreach tools to use during evangelistic times in the city.

Today was a good day.

For the team, Mark

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding"
Proverbs 3:5

Big time - you are in our thoughts and prayers. Tell Ethan and Faith the corn is up. We may even have some strawberries left when he gets home.

It is fun to see the photos. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date. Prayers are being sent daily, sometime hourly. Ky, we are working on the house, getting it ready for you to move into. Jaci even said you could pick the room! Luv you!!! Amy (Mom)
