Asbury VIM Team arrives in Pitorreal, Mexico - July 8, 2007

Well we have arrived safely with a minimum of incidents. We had one problem with passports left at home fortunately this was remedied because of the early arrival at the airport and aid of Sandy. The ten of us left and met up with the Marshalls at Chihuahua. The entire team then travelled to Pitorreal. All of our baggage made it and only a little toothpaste got confiscated by theTSA.

Dinner on the road was an experience as none of us could read the menu. Surprises were had by many upon receiving our meal. The weather is overcast with some rain each day predicted. Temperatures are very nice somewhat cool in the evenings, particularly for the ladies. We got settled into our quarters without any problems. Water is limited so we must learn some conservation.

We will attend church this afternoon. The service will have many children in it because this the end of their week of camp here. We will see many of these children in the MBS during the week. Our first project will be to repair some guttering on the clinic where we are staying so that we can colllect some rain water. Tomorrow we will start with a project at the church. All are well and we have all of our stuff "great beginnings". The local ladies are aware of our presence because there was one selling baskets on the back porch when we arrived for breakfast this morning. It appears that sales will be brisk.

We will not be able to email often as we must come into Creel to have access to the internet. We may have more reports but mostly like not.

Blessings to all Pitorreal team Rob, Linda,Judy, Clyde, Jeannie, Kaye, Paula, Nancy, Les, Stacey,Jan and Mike
