Ray and I woke early to have a beachside breakfast with Luis, (keep following, the tough part of the mission will come). The rest of the day was spent looking at the different projects, becoming familiar with driving in Mexico, and acquiring material.
About 5:30 pm, our group began emerging from the air terminal. The first ones out were happy, unhurried, glad to see someone they recognized, it was a very relaxed atmosphere. As more came out through the bustle of cab drivers and time share vendors, the sense of urgency became much greater, some even looking over their shoulder as if being chased. HECTOR had struck. Men coming in with children's clothes, girls with tools and men's underwear in their luggage, was way too much for Hector today. Sheila and a couple others were detained, being threatened were alot more fees to pay. We finally all were together headed to the hotel where we ate and spent the night. More on this tomorrow.

Ray and I arrived at the airport in Redmond about 6:00 am, 4 sodukos, 3 airplanes, 4 crossword puzzles later we arrived at San jose del Cabo, greeted by a blast furnace heat as we went through the airplane door. A smiling Pastor Luis waited for us on the other side of a very confused customs officer, the assortment of tools and childrens clothes were a little much for him to deal with. ( You will hear more about "Hector" tomorrow.)
Pastor Luis gave us the van and escorted us to the hotel. After a very good meal we retired for the night, thankful to God for a safe journey,

Mission Mexico
Oct. 19, 10:22
Packed and ready to go. Adventure awaits, buildings to be built, talks to be given, children to feed, and souls to be touched by God. All in just seven days including travel time. We can do all things through Christ, right?
18 missionaries from Father's House and New Life Fellowship are invading San Jose del Cabo to do work for God's kingdom. I will be posting each day to keep all of you supporting us at home updated. We may be the ones in Mexico but this is a team effort from our churches. Please keep us in your prayers.
Tomorrow morning Ray and I leave early to secure the transportation, donkeys, rickshaws, pogo sticks, something that will get us around in a foreign country. Like I said, "adventure awaits".
Follow along with us as we "Live it Out"
