Heading down to Mexico early tomorrow morning with my church. The bus ride will be hot, sticky, and largely miserable, Mexico will be just hot, hopefully not so sticky. We will be framing and roofing a clinic we started building last year. Those who have gods to pray to, pray for safety; those who don't, please carry on as normal.

I don't believe it's anywhere near Acapulco, I'll try and find out the name if you're interested, I've got a little bit before we leave, I'm at the Church now, I'll be sleeping over here.

Jimmy:
Good luck! I hope you enjoy your adventure!
The jesuits went there in the 1500s and gave up. They said it was inhabited by peoples too uncivilized to christianize!
We will be praying for you!

I just got back in. Our base of operations was the Church in Ensenada we'd already built awhile ago, I wasn't there for that one. After that, we rode the busses an hour and a half in each direction morning and night to Puerta la Trumpa and Ohos Negros. We had Vacation Bible School with the Onion Field Workers' kids, and left duffle bags of non-perishable foods with them before we left, we also took similar duffle bags up to an orphanage in Tijuana. We got all the framing done on the clinic, and roofed it with the felt covering that made it water tight. All that's left is finishing work and wiring, as well as the roofing tiles. A few of the boys in the youth group are also raising money for their Senior projects to drill a well. It will be some of the only good water in that part of Mexico that's not bottled if they manage to raise the $4000. Small groups of contractors, and possibly some of the youth will be making trips down there the rest the year to finish the Clinic, it should be staffed shortly thereafter. It will treat patients for free, taking donations when available, and is attached to a non-profit missions group that profides medical treatment (St. Lucas Foundation IIRC. )
