Mission Accomplished!

The team arrived back in Dallas on August 9th all safe and sound. The stories began to flow out of them as soon as they had cleared immigration.

The team had worked very hard and through this adventure grown closer to the Lord and to each other. They will be sharing with their family, friends, and home churches all that God had done for years to come.

Your Turn anticipates there will a team in Monterrey in 2009, for more information please contact our offices at 903.456.3084.

Building for God's Glory!

We just completed our only full day of work at San Juan, Mexico. This involved cement mixing, rebar work, and digging a hole with a shovel and pick axe. Everyone is tired but well.

I am feeling better also. I was not as sore as I guessed I would be from the fall.

Our "fun" day is Wednesday, and I can tell some are looking forward to the cold water at the falls.

Pushing Through!

Good afternoon!

We arrived safe and sound on Friday with no problems and a VERY easy flight. We have 3 groups that total 30. Each of our group stay together for the work sites. I was excited when I found out our group will be working at San Juan for our tour. The progress that has been made is really encouraging, of couse we will have pics.

Everyone is doing well no complaints. Everyone is well and staying hydrated. Tomorrow (monday) will be a full work day, both morning and afternoon. Our group is ready.

We will be able to get the folks to Horsetail Falls on Wed. That will break the work up quite nice.

Just completely for me personally....I did have a very funny incident in "American Only" worship this morning. I was sitting in one of the old metal chairs they have here at the compound and it broke. I fell directly to the floor while Rick was speaking. Everyone from our group kept asking if I was okay and I played it off, of course. But I've got to confess...I am very sore, my back and legs are the most sore. I think Tylonol will help just fine and I'll be okay. But, I'm a little bit intimidated with the all day work coming tomorrow. Please just pray for me that the soreness stays tolerable.

Things are great, and when I get a chance, I will send an email again.

Send everyone our love!!
