(Super Taco! A local taco shop that we will enjoy eating at multiple times this weeks =] ) Today was our travel day! We all met at the church at 4:30 in the morning! It was freezing and way too early ;) Our travel was long, sleep-filled, and long. Haha! We crossed the border at 4:30 after stopping to get insurance. We met up with Rafa and Efrain at Costco in Tijuana. After settling in at the dorms, we went to EL SUPER TACO!! And ate tacos. Little Mikinzie got to make her own tortilla. It was so cute! Then it was time for our daily Mexico Meeting in the dorms, where we discussed unity and spent time with our prayer partners. We worshiped the Lord through songs in English and Spanish. We are all very excited about the eventful workday tomorrow where we will be building a house for a family that we will be meeting tomorrow. Tony asked all of us to say a phrase or word that described our feelings about tomorrow and we said we were excited, ecstatic, optimistic, unsure, anticipation, happy, energetic, delight, curious, scared, good memories, openness, antsy, unknown, blessed, hopeful, joyous, ambitious, a little nervous, ready, joyful, pumped up, stoked, juiced, super stoked, bring it on and psyched!
Thank you for your continuous prayers; it is a huge blessing to know that all of you are supporting us through prayer!

Thanks for the update Vero and Stevie. This is Janice Barry and I am so excited to be able to read and respond to these blogs! We are praying for you all and glad to hear you all made it safely! "If you have any ENCOURAGEMENT from being UNITED with Christ, if any COMFORT from His LOVE, if any FELLOWSHIP with the Spirit, if any TENDERNESS and COMPASSION, then make my JOY complete by being LIKE-MINDED, having the SAME LOVE, being ONE in spirit and purpose. Do NOTHING out of vain conceit, but in HUMILITY CONSIDER others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interest of others. Your ATTITUDE should be the same as that of Christ Jesus." Philippians 2:1-5 -Much Love & Prayers from Fairfield!!! ~Janice
