Our mission team has safely arrived in La Palmilla Mexico! For the next two weeks they will be working with our Mexican friends to help complete the construction of their sanctuary. The church in La Palmilla is a United Methodist Church that’s bursting at the seams. There’s not a lot of funding for a construction project in that village, but there is a lot of love for Christ and a lot of desire to share His Word.
One of the Mission Team members, Chris Valianti, posted the following picture of the team on his Facebook timeline:

Jennifer sent the following pictures which were taken on Saturday July 18. Here’s how she described the pictures…
“Saturday, July 18, was our first day of work at the construction site of the new sanctuary.
The team worked hard 
digging a trench and relocating all the dirt that was dug out. We also washed a few of the windows that were ready after the purging was finished. It was a good first day.”

As the missions trip wraps up, Chris added a new set of pictures to his Eyefi album. After uploading all of those pictures, apparently he needed a nap!
The new pictures also show that the team got out on the road (away from digging trenches!) and saw some of the beauty and history of the surrounding area.
