Day 1 : Travel Day
Well, today is the day! We are on our way to Merida.
This morning we met at the airport at 5am and everyone seemed excited and also very tired. Some of us didn’t even sleep the night before (youth I tell ya).
Security and US customs went super smoothly. The team grabbed some coffee and breakfast and we boarded our flight at 8am.
Our flight to Houston was 4 hours and our layover there was 4 hours as well.
After that we had a two hour flight to Merida. Our flight was relatively smooth, minus landing in the middle of a thunderstorm.
We were warmly welcomed by Gary and Joanne Edwards, our ministry partners here in Merida. From the airport, we packed all the bags into our two vans and headed out to an authentic taco shop. We ate delicious al pastor tacos and drank Coca Cola from glass bottles.
After that, we met at the hotel and had a small orientation around expectations here in Mexico. Our training begins tomorrow so we all headed to bed after that. Please be praying for us as we meet and minister to the people of Mexico!
