Back in the US

We are back in the United States. We had a great time at the Nino's de Baja orphanage.

Last night we prepared and served dinner to all the Nino's children and staff.

I'll be posting pictures when I get faster service and time. Right now it's well over 100 degrees in El Centro, California. 

The picture below was taken on our day off from work. We are in La Bufadora, just south Ensenada.

Dinner in El Porvenir

Spent  the day at the orphanage and church today. Having a quick hamburger at Esmeralda 's.

Chandler, Arizona

Left Chandler at 8:15 am for Tecate, California. This is where we cross the border into Mexico.

Stopped at 8:49 for restroom break. Stopped at 10:15 for restroom break. Oh it's going to be a long day today. :-)

We should be stopping in El Centro for lunch at the In & Out! 

Need sleep!

Are We There Yet ?

We are on our way! Two vans, 27 members of the mission team enroute to Mexico.

Thank you to all of the supporters that have helped get us on our way.

48 Hours!

With less than 48 hours to go it's time to do some serious packing! I cannot believe how fast the time flies by.

Someone asked me yesterday if they can share this blog link on Facebook. Yes, of course, however, I'm only going to post here. A blog format is easier to follow for all the contributors, friends and family.

Also, feel free to leave comments on any post. It's always fun to read and respond to them.

Got to go pack! :)

MX Mission Trip - Update

With less than 6 days until the MX Mission Trip I'm starting to get excited.

I really want to thank all of the supporters for this trip. There were so many people that helped fund this mission trip via GoFundMe.com. Thank you very much for your generosity and love.

As I promised, I will be posting as we head down to Mexico and upon our return. While in Mexico, I will be posting if I can obtain free WiFi from either the orphanage or local restaurants in Ensenada, while on our break day. All updates will be posted here. I will try to include pictures and lots of details depending on how much time I have with the internet connection.

If I cannot get online in Mexico, the pages will update as soon as we cross the border in Tecate, California.

A brief time schedule for our mission trip is as follows.....

Depart on June 19th from Colorado Springs
