Saturday - Arrived safely
Hi to all our friends!
Arrived safely, including all our suitcases!
Our check-in and security all went smoothly - had excellent customer service who take care of us almost immediately, and were up at the gate in less than an hour.
Gustavo, Aurora, and Dinora were at the SPS airport to meet us, and we loaded up in the small pickup truck and the van. We went to our hotel at Villa Nuria where we spent the next 3 hours or more sorting the suitcases - meds, toys, candy, kits for boys and girls, and then repacking some of the medications. It is warm here - sweaty warm!
At 7:00, Gustavo picked us up and we all went over to Linda Robela´s house for an excellent barbecued chicken dinner with potatoe salad and a lettuce salad. We watched the Projecto MAMA video before we ate, and Linda also told us the story about one of the areas they work in where there are gangs killing innocent people, and they don´t know what to do. As a Christian group, they think they need to be doing something, but they are struggling with what they can or should do.
After the meal, we all were very tired, and came back to the hotel, where most of us were ready to hit our beds.
Tomorrow is another full and long day, and we´re looking forward to spending a good part of the day in the children´s orphanage and the home for young girls - teens. In the evening we´ll be taking part in the worship service with Pastor Juan and the dedication of his baby daughter, Yvonne Nehomi Ramirez Gonzales.
Good night.
Bob, for the team

Bob-
So happy flight/check in went well.
Blessings today. I will pray for all of you that hearts will not be broken too much and that you can give hope.

I am sure I will be forgiven for selfishly hoping that the area that " Innocent people are being killed" is not somewhere close to where four members of my family will be taken ?.. More info would be appreciated, especially with recent news of troops going to Mexico.
