Hello From Mexico

Hey everybody,
As you saw, we have arrived in Mexico safely.
Suzan loves it here. She is a great guide and she can speak Spanish.
Arlene hates lizards.
Joel needs to eat.
Jeff likes the coffee.
Branden was the first to get sick but not too bad.
Stephen misses English but is learning Spanish. (He expects at least 1/2 credit for school.)
Allie says hi to her family and friends. (Mom, I need food! No more goat cheese!)
Jenny is running out of money. JK! =)

We have mostly been shopping, hanging out, eating (well...some of us), focusing on the week ahead, sleeping, and getting to know the culture. We are starting our latrine projects tomorrow. It has been great getting to know each other and the culture that surrounds us. We are looking forward to the coming week. There have been a lot of new experiences and seeing how God will work through us is exciting. When we return, you will have to ask us about the details of our trip while you are looking at our pictures. Please post comments or questions. We really want to hear from you. We will hopefully be able to post more often. We miss you all.

God Bless,
Allie and Stephen

P.S. Paul H. and Denny, we have some good ideas for our Sunday services. ie: dancing, jumping, and just going totally crazy for God! Those are just a few. =)

It was so good to hear from all of you. I hope you are able to post more about your latrine project. What was your day like? How did it go? We would love more details. We are all thinking of you constantly and praying for you. Be safe, email often.
We love you,
Mrs. Valesano
