Mexico Mission 2008

Mexico was unbelievable~

In 2 1/2 days we built a 7 framed wall, 2 piece roof, stucco sided home for Richardo and Dora's family. Our church rocks! Because of our giving to Project 1:8 we were able to purchase all the materials to keep the trip costs down for our team. Our team was even able to pool $325 in spending cash to help fix their car! God is good!!! THAT'S GOODNESS! Goodness on steroids. Thank you Emily for the great food, Thanks Rob for your leadership at the worksite, Thanks to Joseph for coordinating all the stuff, Thanks to Eric for his translating skills and for being my wingman. Remember Eric, everyone is following us, so don't get us lost! Lastly thanks to each of the people who went. The food, the fire, the fellowship ... Port-o-Patternina... what else needs to be said.

Trick or Treat exceeded all our expectations~
There were over 8,000 people. We had over 170 volunteers. We gave away over a ton of candy. We had exposure in one event to 1/4 of Maricopa's population. It was awesome! We had the City of Maricopa, the Mayor, the Fire Chief, the Police Chief, the owner of State Farm insurance, and Pastor Josh, along with nearly 50 businesses involved in one way or another. Thank you Jesus! Thank you COC! Misty, Rob and Christy, Ginger, Esther, Jake, Tom, and everyone else that helped make this happen ...Thanks for everything!
