Vancouver: Plaacements

We just got back to the lifehouse after serving at our placements. Our groups went to three locations in Greater Vancouver area ... Union Gospel Mission, Belkin House (Salvation Army), and a Women's shelter. Each group will go back to the same mission every day this week. The van ride home was full of stories as kids talked through the exciting and the uncomfortable parts of their experience. Pictures coming soon! :)

Mexico - Day 2

Sunday was church day!!!

We got the chance to join Doug and Dianna Fullerton at the church they have been involved with for several years. They have been a part of building the church from the ground up, physically and spiritually. 

Our afternoon was spent at the Bufadora (shopping) where the student got everything from a shark head to ponchos to churos. Lots of fun. 

Our evening service was very impactfull with great music, the passion play. This was great for the students and for me!  Why are we here?  What do I value?  How can I make an impact? These are questions that we are taking head on. 

Our day ended with foot races on the beach... Awesome! 

Jake 

Mexico: We arrived!

After much anticipation and plenty of kilometers we finally arrived in Ensenada safe and sound!

Thank you to everyone that has been praying, it was a wonderful trip with no incidents at all. 

Things kick into high gear as far as work goes tomorrow morning but we're ready for anything Mexico has to throw at us!

Here are a couple views from our students about the trip so far:

-Joshua's favorite part of the trip down was "seeing all the great views on the down on the bus"

-Cassandra had this to say when we arrive "we met all these new people from all around North America and other places; they're so wonderful!"

Vancouver: Life at the Lifehouse

We made it!! Just connecting with the Lifeteams students and unwinding after the long drive. 

Mexico - New Bus and on to Mexico

We made it to the San Diego YWAM Base with only a few u-turns along our drive. :) We are just waiting for Jake to park the bus and we are off to Mexico!!!! The kids are excited to finally get into Mexico but have been well behave along the whole route. One more short ride and we will be there!!

Vancouver: Over halfway there!

We have just made it past Salmon Arm. No injuries to report other than Desi being hit in by a fruit snack package!

Mexico: Good nights mean good mornings!

After a great rest, in a nice hotel, everyone is much happier then they've ever been at 4:30 am. Our hotel was great and said they'd prepare a breakfast earlier than normal so we feel supremely blessed today. God has been so good the past couple days, even though we're been driving for over 24 hrs total so far it hasn't felt nearly that long. As we cross into Arizona this morning please pray for continued safety and for our bus and its drivers to continue operating amazingly.
