Estamos Aqui! (we are here!!)

And we are off! Priase God for getting all us of here safe and sound in Tepa. We arrived at Hillcountry at 4 am this morning, a bit tired, but very eager to see how God´s going to use us on this trip. After finally getting through all of the airport precautions, we flew off to Houston at 6:50. There were no delays or obstacles during security or anything... everything just went very smoothly and we are so thankful.
After arriving in Houston, we rushed to catch our next flight that would take us to Guadalajara. I think all of us would agree that we were taken a bit by surpise when we saw the lush beauty of the mountains below us. We got to catch up on our sleep, which was a must needed necesity before we arrived!
We met Ramon, our STEM leader, at the airport. We all got on a bus and headed off to Tepa. It was a fourty five minute trip from the airpot to the church, where we are staying, in tepa. We have had a relaxing day, getting settled in and meeting new friends!
Please continue to pray for safetly and health. Ramon came down with a severe food poisoning, and although he is feeling much better, please keep him in your prayers.
We will continue to keep updated throughout the week! Thanks again for all your prayers and support.

Taylor Stearns and Catie Kolence

p.s mommy i love you ;)
