They are a truly wonderful couple. I'll be praying for their health and stamina so that they can continue their spiritual mission.

Thank you Judy. They will be back Sunday but will probably be exhausted. You will be hearing from her Sunday night or Monday I'm sure.

Thanks Mom and Traci for keeping everyone updated!
 The reason we got free tickets was because they overbooked our flight and asked if anyone would be willing to take the next flight two hours later. The later flight went through Cancun and then to Mexico DF (our final destination by plane) rather than going directly to DF. So in total, it added five hours to our travel time. Since we didn't have any concrete plans for the first day, we decided we'd go for it and use our free tickets for our anniversary next year! Oh my, as for Mexico, I have many wonderful stories as well as a few sad ones, memories I will never forget, and friends I will forever treasure. Oh and I have some sore muscles and bruises too.  In El Rosario, we constructed footers and put in the foundation for the floors of the new Sunday school rooms. We spent most of the time mixing cement using nothing but a wheel barrel and shovels. This was by far the most demanding physical work I have ever done in my life, but it was well worth it to see how happy it made the members, especially the children. The children...my children...they adopted me. I'll have some pictures to share with you later, but three of the children of the town adopted Brendon and me as their parents. From the first night on, they called us Mamita and Papito (dear mom and dear dad). I have never felt so much love for someone I knew for only a week. I cried when we left (both in Puebla when we left Daniel and Carol and again in El Rosario when we left my children and the teenagers we'd grown so close to).I will tell you more about the trip when I have pictures to share, but I just wanted to let you know that we made it home safe and sound.

Welcome home! It sounds like you really did great things there. Giving is better than receiving.
Aren't kids fantastic? I can't wait to see the pix. Love you, Judy
