Mexico Day 1


Puerto Vallarta, Mexico...a place of contrast. This picture shows the landfill where many families make their living and find their food, while in the back ground you can see the land of plenty where those with money come to play. It was with the children of the Dump that we went to work.
The next few posts are going to be a recap of our trip to Mexico with each post written by a different team member.

Dear Everyone,We have gotten some sleep...well some of us have. We went to church today and it was just like the Venue, but in Spanish. We knew all of the songs but one. Tomorrow we are cleaning...bathrooms, basketball courts and cutting some grass...if we can find our way back to the church. Just kidding! The weather is great...about 80...yes we are suffering for Jesus. Seriously tomorrow we will be suffering. Ok, well tomorrow´s update will come from Dan. Hard to tell what that will be. Thanks for your prayers.
For the team,
Ann

I hope this comment reaches you. I can see that has been a while since you visited the dump in Vallerta. Did you know it has recently closed? I am blogging about it and posting a letter from Children of the Dump. karenokeeffe.blogspot.com
I hope you don't mind if I use your photo. It demonstrates the proximity to the hotel zone so well.
