So everything went great for our travels today! We got a later take-off time of about 30 minutes, and landed in Monterrey at about 5:30pm, (6:30pm your time). We were greated by Matt and Julie Cooper, August Garritano, and Kasie Kyle, (August and Kasie are interns for July at Back2Back). It was a bit overcast when we landed, but humid as ever. We loaded up one full shuttle with just our luggage and then got on another shuttle for about 45 minutes as we traveled through town to get to the Back2Back campus.
In one year the staff has doubled, the campus looks great, and there are 3 other church groups here with us this week. We had some dinner, and went through the ground rules of the week. Afterwards we made our way down to the hut and talked about Luke 18 for a bit.
I'm about to hit the bunk...DC is directly underneath me, and yes I did bring earplugs for him.
If you want to leave a comment for your students, please keep it encouraging, you can go ahead and leave out the "MISS YOU" comments, and I'll try to get it to them the best I can.
Tomorrow, we have church at the Cadarayta, and we will be feeding about 300 folks lunch. Then off to the Manantial children's home for some work and play. Adios amigos!

Please tell Sarah her family is proud of her for surviving her first plane flight, and since she is most looking forward to seeing the kids at the children's home, we'll be praying that the kids warm up to her despite her frightening amazon height... : )
So, no flat tires??
Glad that your week is officially underway. Please tell Hannah that her family is inspired by this step she has taken and are so fired up to hear about this awesome, life-changing experience.
Pastor Beeson reminded us last night to always lift Jesus up so everyone can see. I know that is what you all will be doing this week and it gives me goosebumples!!
Rock on!---Shelly
Hey,
Just know that you all are covered with prayer back here. You are literally on the front lines of ministry to the disinfranchised. My hope for you is that you all would be "strong and courageous" as Joshua was told going into the Promised Land.
You all rock! I'm praying for you daily.
Peace.

Hey to the Mexico team,
You are a blessing to all you come in contact with this week. You are fulfilling the great commission. We are so proud of all of you. Thanks to all the awesome leaders. Please tell the Ditto sisters that their parents can't wait to hear about all of the great experiences. Praying for all of you--The Dittos
Hi guys ... Glad you are all safe and sound ... let Nathan know that we are looking forward to some pretty awesome stories. Good to know he has such a skilled leadership team to work with and hopefully learn from. Make every minute count because it isn't often we get to make such a profound difference in others lives. All our best ... The Granger Gages
PS .. tell Nathan that Belle went happily into boarding!
Glad to hear that you are all there safe and sound. We will be praying that this week is what God intended it to be for all of you and those that you are serving. Tell Allison R. that NW took two firsts at the fair. Her Mom and her Brother couldn't be prouder of her. She Rocks.

Hey Team,
Like Johnny said, we're off to chicago in the morning, and it's so exciting to know that our entire student ministry is out serving this week. Since you've gotten nothing but encouragement, let me give you some "don't"s from my experience in mexico.
1. Don't drink the water...they aren't kidding
2. Don't wait to go to bed until Corey does. Girls, that goes for you too...those walls are paper thin.
3. Don't sit down without inspecting the chairs at El Polo Loco. Ted can elaborate.
Serve well, can't wait to hear the stories when you all get back.
Jeff Myers
Allison, hope it is warm enough for you and your friends! Comfort in the warmth of his being within us, all the time and in all places.( I think he has a pretty cool house too! hahaha ) Be safe, be well, you are loved! Daddio
