So I finally found internet here on our missions trip. We have a team of 25 (20 students & 5 leaders) working at Casa Hogar, which is an orphanage. We arrived here Sunday afternoon, though we were supposed to arrive Saturday afternoon. Our flight out of Orlando was delayed about 7 hours, so we missed our connecting flight in Houston. Contintental put us up at a dive of hotel for the night and then got us on two different flights to Acapulco. Needless to say we were exhausted and a bit frazzled, but we made it. It´s been great to be here. The kids at Cas Hogar are amazing. They are so loving and appreciative. During the morning hours we´ve been working on demolition and concrete work. Back breaking. Our group has worked very hard and have been easy to deal with. Tomorrow is our free day so we are heading to a water park, McDonalds, the market, dinner and then the famous cliff divers. Should be fun. Nothing like guys risking their lives for our entertainment whilst wearing a speedo!
Well now that I´ve located the ¨¨internet cafe¨¨ I will hopefully post some more this week. I miss Heather and Sydnie in a big way! Thankfully when I return we leave for Boone, NC on Monday for a week of vacation (just us). I´m thinking the weather may be better there than it is in Acapulco in June.
Well that´s about all for now. Thanks for your prayers. Peace.
We miss you too! So glad the trip is going well. See you soon!
