McAllen

Greetings to all!

I am currently sitting in an apartment in McAllen, Texas, getting ready to depart on my first trip of the summer with a team from McPherson, Kansas in the morning. We are going to be ministering at the Benito Juarez Children's Home just over the border. The location and projects for this team have been switched around quite a bit in the past few weeks due to the precarious situations in parts of Mexico, but they have been incredibly flexible and willing to serve wherever they are able.

I am super excited to get this summer started! The past week has been filled with trainings and a decent dose of relaxation. We've been staying at a church in Mission, TX for most of the week and have also begun planning a VBS program for the end of the month to be hosted at a Covenant Church in nearby San Juan. I have greatly enjoyed getting to know my fellow summer staffers and really think that we are going to make a good team!

Thank you all for your prayers and support! I will try to update you all as regularly as possible, as internet access is available.

Till next time...
