Dayspring -- First weekend @ La Hacienda

Wow! Finally -- my first endeavor of what I would call my "missionary career." What an adventure, coming to Texas and then Mexico, not knowing at all what to expect. Tomorrow we make an 8 hour (300 mile) drive across the border and through the mountains to the city of Dr. Arroyo with our first church group. We'll return to TX on Friday and I'll leave out again Sunday (a week from tmr). That way I can get the feel for how a typical week goes from start to finish.

For the past 2 days I've been staying at "La Hacienda" cleaning and preparing for the groups who will come and stay as guests each Sat. night before driving down to Arroyo on Sundays for their mission trips. Anywhere from 2-3 churches come each week. That's the front of La Hacienda above, and below is the pool. I vacuumed it today :-) yeah, it looks nice doesn't it? haha

This is my room below. I have my own room and bath here, but Mexico will be different.

I have to run, so I don't have time to tell any cool stories, but I'll try to get back on later and put up some more pics, etc.

Sorry if this is terribly boring. It's my first attempt at blogging, and I might not be so great at it. Love to my friends!!!
