Day Three - Men's Monterrey Mexico Mission

Sunday is our day of worship,rest and preparation. We all attended church today at Camino, Verdad y Vida Presbyterian Church.



As is always the case, we were warmly welcomed and greeted by the congregation. Their service lasts about two hours and today we sang about twelve hymns and it was very much like our 4th service at FPC. Pedro Diaz, Marcos' and Jorge's dad preached today. He is 87 or 88 and very sharp. He lost his eyesight about three years ago, but that hasn't seemed to slow him down. His sermon was based on The Great Commission (Matthew 28: 16-20) and although we didn't understand his words, we understood his message.



After church, off to Chili's for lunch. After lunch, one crew went to the grocery store to buy breakfast and lunch foods and lots of drinks and another crew made a Lowes/Home Depot run for last minute tool purchases. You would think we were in the U.S. rather than Mexico.

Domino's pizza in the parking lot and a short meeting about tomorrow's schedule completed the day.



In the morning we plan to be on the road to the job site at 6:45 am to avoid the traffic and get an early start to beat the heat as much as possible. Tomorrow's task are to construct the forms for the slabs and hopefully start enclosing the food service hut for Casa Samuel. We hope that all the homeowners got their preparation work finished!

The guys on our team this year are Reagan Dean, Duncan McNeel, Phil Brand, Rem Bennett, Allen Hirons, Matthew Simonian, Alex Bretch, Gene Patterson, Erroll Eckford, Tony Harris, Mark Thompson, Howard Swinford and Brian Wright. Your prayers for us are greatly appreciated.

Buenas Noches from Monterrey.
