11 hour bus ride to Mexico: $50....Jim Bird in Mexico: PRICELESS!


Well, my dad and I made it safely to Mexico approx. 26 hours after our departure! As soon as we got to the station, the van pulled up and out jumped Carla and all the girls to greet us! Dad did very well.....it took him all week to learn everyone's names, and almost never did he pronounce anything right, but he tried so hard and did very well! He helped out alot, and ALWAYS volunteered me to do stuff, even though I already had stuff to do...shocking! I will write more later, but for now here's a pic of Dad and I with all of Carla's family in front of their house in Tesia, where we have church every Sunday morning!( The bigger lady in the black shirt is Carla's mom, she's awesome, and then Carla's in front of me holding her new 8 day old nephew!) I wish you all could have seen JIm Bird so out of his element down here, it was definitely a new experience for both of us! He had a good time, and I'm so proud of him for coming and making that horrible trip with me! I'm so thankful for such a loving, caring dad like him!

Hey Birdy-Girl!
I sure wish I could see you and J Bird there--I know it is truly priceless! Reminds me of putting those crazy bunk beds together in yall's first little dorm room.
I missed you in Atlanta last weekend; it wasn't the same without you. Katie is working on getting you the perfect job there this summer-that would be too sweet!Keep blogging so we know what you're up to(even if it's wiping noses and bottoms!)Praying for you and all you are learning as you serve others and Him.
Love, mrs Lesa, your facebook buddy
