Day 1

Hello, friends!

It is now almost 2 in the morning here in Mexico City and we've just gotten settled in Benny and Janice's house. It's been a wonderfully hectic but blessed day, full of laughter and stress.

First, we'd just like to praise God that one of our team was able to make it. Issues with his green card had us worried for a bit but, by the grace of God, he cleared customs and immigration without a hitch. But it's not over yet: please pray that his green card arrives before Thursday so he'll be able to make it back into the US.

Checking in at the airport was a bit of a hassle. We were already running a little late and had troubles with the automated self check-in process but we were able to make it to the plane on time. Barely. haha Thank God for His provision as He brought us to the gate and onto the plane just in time. Josh and Matt also thank God for being able to switch seats on the plane and move to the seats with an amazing amount of leg room.

We've already had a few adventures, including the guys getting lost in a cab and going to an AMAZING taco place for a late dinner. The girls even got a cool picture "working" at the taco stand!

About our schedule/itinerary: A lot of things are still up in the air, but it's definitely easy to see how God is moving in this place and how He's going to be using us to love on the city and its people while we're here. There's a lot of work to do but we're definitely ready to do anything and everything.

It's so exciting to finally be here in Mexico City. All of us have a feeling that God is going to do something great here, we just have to be prepared for it!

Continue to pray that we will be able to go with the flow and be flexible with whatever comes our way.

We love all of you. Thank you so much for having us in your prayers!
-Mexico City Team!
