First post/Almost there!

Good Morning Everyone! were are almost there!

So far our story has been one of God's faithfullness. We have had nothing but a smooth ride so far. The border crossing went well, we arrived at the station on time. The trip on the train was long but eventful. It was filled with laughs, games, and miraculously a whole group of teenage kids sleeping and being quiet for longer than an hour.

The kids seem pretty excited so far. There has been alot of talk about what we are going to do in Mexico and every one has a really positive attitude. I have seen some cool things from the youth already. One cool thing was when two girls decided to put there serving hats on and go a clean up the garbage on the train. That was a pretty cool thing to see. Another cool thing is just how gelled the group has been so far. There hasn't really been any cliques or rude comments so that has been nice.

I can describe the mood of the group as expectant. Expectant for new things, sights smells, people. But mostly an expectancy for what God is going to do in and around us. We have committed the trip to him and we are ready for an adventure.

Thanks to all who are reading this. Keep us in your prayers
