Day 1

Today went really smoothly. The only hitch in our trip so far has been the fact that Jono was not able to join us on the trip do to a flesh eating bacteria that that has granted him the privlage of a generous hospital stay. We are praying for a full recovery and we are all waiting to see what Jesus has planned through this whole thing because it makes no sense (to us) why Jono would miss this trip after working so closely on the planning and preparations. We will see.


We made it to the First Baptist Church in Lodi, California and it is a beautiful building and a very gracious host for us. We played in the gym, had worship time and devotions in the 700 seat sanctuary which some how still felt intamate enough to have some great worship time.


I spent most of the drive playing a guessing game with a van full of girls. Joel Weddle and Andrew Haskell were the only other boys in the van. We went through all the songs on my phone beginning with the letter A and they would try and guess the titles of the songs. It was a lot of fun and made the time fly by. However, I was singing almost the entire way and my voice is feeling tired already. Bohemian Rhapsidy took it out of me I think.


Tomorrow we are going to be driving to Life Pacific University in San Dimas and there we will enjoy nice beds and showers!


Love ya,
Chris

Tonight we are loading up the vehicles and preparing to leave in the morning! Excited to be going on our 2nd annual Mexico Mission Trip in 2 years. We have an amazing group this year - kids AND leaders! Please remember to hold us up in prayer, for unity, good attitudes, and health for everyone, as well as the impact our homebuilding outreach efforts will have on the families who get to move into NEW HOMES after we leave!
