Youth Group Mexico Mission Team

We enjoyed  a nearly flawless day of travel (the big bus had a little "Ford" type problem).  Our team is swimming to cool off here in St. Geroge, Utah. . . then we'll get some dinner before evening devotions.

That was an interesting border crossing!  We've never before had to unload our trailers and let a dog sniff through our stuff!  But we were allowed to enter and the dog did not eat our cookies - so we are happy.  We thank God for our safe arrival in good old Mexico where the people are still the greatest!

Sorry about the inability to update.  I hope you enjoyed Marcia's updates.

We have arrived safely and are swimming in St. George, Utah where the temperature is 111 degrees!  But that's cooler than Las Vagas was and way cooler than the inside of the 15 passenger bus where the air conditioning is still just a promise (not a reality)!

The engine on the big bus tried to over-heat but we stopped and managed to baby it to St. George where we will have it checked.

Otherwise it was a GREAT day of travel after a PERFECT day at the beach yesterday!

The border crossing was slow but it went VERY well for us.

This team did AMAZING things - God used them all!

By 10:00 at night, the team finally arrived safely home after a wonderful share time on Saturday night but a difficult day of travel on Sunday.

The big bus made it to I-70 and sprung a coolant leak.  It was towed to Richfield where it remains for repairs.  While that was an inconvenience and a problem, it is so minor compared to all the good things about this trip.
