Mexico Bound

The Crestview Student Ministry Mexico mission team has made it in to Mexico. This is not without a few holdups from the Mexican government, however. Students sat at the border and waited as the government decided that it was okay for the VANS to be passed over the border. They allowed the students, adults, items on the trailer and the trailer itself...just not the vans. At one point I think that Rob and Byron were ready to be saddled up like mules and pull the trailer over by themselves! At around 5:30 - after about a 5 hour ordeal, they are in...(just in time to have to delay travels and have to enjoy a Mexican border hotel....hmmmmmm....wonder if anyone made any pesos off of that!??)
They will travel to Chihuahua and should reach there before dark. They plan to stay there tonight.
Remember that they will probably not have cell service after that, so stay posted. I will update this blog as I get information.
We will continue to pray for God to do a great work!

According to Jessica and Jared from last year...it will be so worth it! The border crossing is a hassle, but once they reach Creel...it was an amazing experience.

Thanks, Donna, for updating everyone!
