DAY 1

Showing up at the airport and having so many people come there to send us off and pray for us. This was a very precious and sweet time for us, and we thank you so much for your goodness to us in the name of Jesus.

Praise that over 14 hours of travel, 3 flights and one 3 hour bus ride, all of our luggage came to us intact (minus an apple, trail mix and a few other things lost at the airport security gates :p)

When Alex met us in a small city two hours from the capital of Oaxaca, he let us know a group of his friends would be coming to meet us. They were amazing people and had a huge impact among us. All were studying to serve as workers among the indigenous ethnic groups in the mountains. They immediately grabbed all of our luggage and escorted us to our hotel and dinner. Jason particularly enjoyed the tacos we had in the town center; he said he felt like a new man. They served without a second thought and were an incredible blessing to us.

That night at the hotel we all slept like rocks – getting a shower that night was awesome.
