Mexico Building Trip Update

We arrived yesterday at around 5:30 p.m.  The ride was completely smooth, and stress free!  I even got an amazing amount of sleep because the Lord totally blew me away with a bunch of people coming over on Sunday to help me pack, we were done by 6:30. 

We were told that there was mostly likely no way we were going to be able to cross the border without paying a fine for the trailer and all the stuff in it.  It would have been $200, but sometimes they don't let you pass at all and then you have to turn around and go back into the U.S.  So we crossed and the trailer was sent to the area to get checked out.  The guy had Evan open the trailer and then asked what all the stuff was for.  Evan told him and guess what... the guy said go ahead!!!!!!!!!  Praise the Lord, we diidn't even have to pay the tax!  How amazing is that!

We got to the church and the pastor was shocked.  He said that it has been so clear all along that God has wanted this to happen, we all definitely agree!!!! 

The guys are working hard and us girls are waking up at the crack of dawn to make breakfast for all those hardworking guys and everyone here at the church.  It has been so great so far, the building is going great and everyone is fellowshipping.  Everyone is getting along so well.

Gotta go because it is lunch time!  Love you all!!!!
