After a long day of travel and much waiting to get through customs here in Mexico, we finally arrived at the City of Joy just after 9:00 pm. We went to have a quick dinner of “taquitos” (and several choices of salsa to embellish them…we soon found out which ones would clear our sinuses the fastest!) and then have tried to get to bed so we have a lot of energy for our work tomorrow.
After dinner, we spent some time sorting our bags to find the supplies we will need for the village and separate all the donations for the City of Joy. Thank you for all of your support in donating items. We will put the tools to good use in the village. The school supplies will come in handy in our work in the City of Joy and much of the clothing will be donated to the Sisters who run the elderly home (they run a “Bazaar” every Saturday and the proceeds from what they sell goes to feed the elderly that they serve.)
We spend tonight in the City of Joy and then the next two days we will be in Nuevo Durango and then come back to the City of Joy to finish out our mission here.
We will have much more to say tomorrow once we have seen everything in the light and get to experience the Mayan Riviera.
Please pray for us on this mission!
