First Day

We just completed our first day. It was a wonderful day. We were so blessed to participate in two worship services in Moroleon. I had the privilege of preaching with an interpreter. Our team sang two songs (first time in English and the second time in Spanish). We did pretty well. The believers love the Lord Jesus Christ so much. It is such a privilege to worship with other brothers and sisters in another country.

We had a great Mexican lunch. The chicken was unbelievable. We even ate some cactus (very good). After lunch, we had a prayer walk in the community surrounding the mission where we will begin construction on Monday morning at 8:00 am. After the prayer walk, we had another service with one of the pastors from Scott County preaching and the same brother interpreting for him. Once this service concluded, Joe Pugh and I went with the pastor and his family to Morelia (an hour away) and had another service. I had the privilege of preaching in this service with the pastor's son interpreting for me. The pastor is extremely busy (three services a day in two different cities).

After the service, we went to the Mexican version of Wal-Mart to purchase dinner items. Mimi (pastor's wife) prepared homemade quesadillas. They were delicious. We finished dinner at 10:00 pm. It has been a long day. I am going to attempt to get some sleep now.

We appreciate your prayers. We encourage you to pray for our strength as we begin construction tomorrow. I will update again tomorrow evening.
