Another day.






OK. So here you have a picture of the landing in the Mexican airport. When you land you just walk down the steps and a bus picks you up. Totally unexpected when you come to the plane door! Nancy still hasn't received her luggage. We found a few things for her at walmart, but it was difficult. Hope it comes tomorrow.

They you have a picture of a mexican policeman riding along on a horse. Another interesting thing I haven't taken a picture of is the street vendors. And I mean literally street vendors. They walk on the road between the cars selling newspapers, calling cards, candy, or offering to wash your windshield. They other picture is of the church the we are working with for the week. Just a big room with plastic chairs. They have a small sound system, but the pastors do own a Mac. That was interesting.

We learned dance moves to 5-6 songs. so we are getting plenty of exercise. Tomorrow we are doing a food ministry. Go to a neighborhood and feed people then do a bible story and such. Later in the week we are doing youth ministry (the church here would like do experiment with youth ministry rather than kids - its new). We will be having sort of like a soccer tournament. Inviting youth from a park (i think) to play on our teams. We will have the tournament then have dramas, songs, message, testimonies, etc. We haven't planned much else.

There is a small store (smaller than the corner store at GAG) by the church. I bought a Pepsi. It was a liter and cost $7 in mexican money - which was about .70 in american. That was a great buy! It tasted sort of like american coke to me. Someone said they think that the mexican coke actually tastes like american pepsi! Like they got it all switched around. No wonder people in mexico like coke - it tastes like pepsi!

Oh yeah, when we came out of walmart - our bus was broken down! So after a bit they sent a van for us. However we were too many for the van (the yakima team and ours) so they were going to have to come back for us. Well nancy got to ride in the van. But conveniently a taxi pulled. So we all crammed into one taxi. yep all of us in a 5 passenger car with the driver taking a seat of course. We let Keven ride up front because he had the longest legs. Fun

Have a good night!
