Our trip started with a great blessing (a bigger bus than we expected to take us to Boston), and a challenge (4 degree weather, and little heat on the bus). We all huddled together for warmth - some of the families using younger members for warmth!
It was an early start - the bus left the parking lot at 4AM. Everyone caught sleep when they could.

Otherwise, we made it on time and smooth sailing with the airplanes and transportation. How nice it was to arrive in 75 degree weather in Mission, Texas.
We had a nice time as a team tonight, worshipping and spending some time thinking about the word Yes... how God has said Yes to us, Yes to come on this trip, Yes to prepare us, Yes to allow us to be part of His work. And how can we say Yes back this week - to each other, to the families we will be with, with the kids, and with God.
Tomorrow we will start on two homes and get acclimatized to our surroundings. It will be an awesome day! Talk to you tomorrow night. God's Blessings -
