Our family will be going to Mexico for a missions trip during the last week in August. This will be the second mission trip for the 3 oldest and Matthew's first.

We had 2 work sites: at this site the crew hauled 2 tons of cement up the stairs with buckets to pour the roof which will eventually be a 2nd floor. They also painted rooms in the new family shelter.
The VBS was held at a park and it was a huge success. The kids kept coming back and bringing new friends every day - by the end of the week we had 150 kids!
Our family met Angelica's birth grandmother and 3 uncles for the first time - they live in Mexico. The meeting was special and thankfully we had Betty to help translate! We also visited the famous blow hole, La Bufadora.
We had a WONDERFUL week in Mexico! Here is a group shot of our whole team after church on Sunday.
