Mexico!!

We are here! We arrived in Mexico on Sunday. Three less students then when we started. One of the couples had to stay behind and start doing their outreach in Panama because Bertilia, the mother is seven months pregnant and not able to travel by plane. Also Salvador from El Salvador needed to stay behind and go to Costa Rica to start his outreach because they denied his visa for Mexico. So we are all praying for them.
One of the students: Roberto from Panama, was taken for questioning in immigration at the airport in Mexico. They didn't think he was Panamanian! For some reason they thought he was a Mexican. But they let him go and we are here and safe.
We are working with a man here, Chevy Cruz who is working with an Assembly of God church here. About six families have offered their hospitality and we have the student seperated into groups and staying with them. They give us breakfast and dinner everyday and take us to and from the church. If you think of it, please pray for them because they have really been a blessing to us. The family that Nathaniel and I are with have five children. We really have felt welcome.
Yesterday we worked with the Director of the YWAM Pachuca base in Mexico. The group did a program in a park and three people accepted Christ into their lives. In the afternoon we went to a small park where there are kids that live on the street. They do drugs, sniffing the plumbing glue among other things. We did a program for them and some dancing. The plan is to return on Thursday and bring them some lunches and then in the nightime go and do some ministry with prostitutes.
Please keep praying for our group. So far it has been a really good time and God has been working!
