| We're Here |
Sorry we have not got a chance to post anything until now. The internet connection is very slow on the computers here. Hopefully we can use the internet next time we go to Ensenada (the McDonalds there have free wi-fi!)
The ride down on the bus went great, although it was a bit longer than we expected. The ride was about 25 hours long from Tacoma to San Vecente. Since the van drivers could only drive 10 hours in a shift, we had a chance to meet three very interesting people. Traffic comming into LA was horrible as could be expected from the holiday weekend travelers.
We got into San Diego without too many problems. However, for the first time since I can remember, one of our vans was stopped for a brief search at the border crossing. After that, we made it to San Vicente at about 12:30 am.
As usual, the Raphiel, the hotel owner, rented out two of the rooms we had "reserved" since we arrived a few hours from when we had said we would be there. The team seems to have settled in pretty quickly. Tomorrow, we will get a chance to look at the work sites to see the projects we will be working on throughout the week. |

| About Me |

Name: RVCC & Missions
Home:
About Me: Since 1995 members of Rainier View Christian Church have been traveling to San Vicente, Mexico to serve Christ. San Vicente is located 120 miles south of the US/Mexican Boarder near San Diego. It is our desire to assist, encourage the missionaries and indigenous pastors in their labor of love for Christ, the local people and the migrant workers from Southern Mexico.
Our mission trips provide an opportunity for those from RVCC to serve as missionaries in a short-term capacity in response to God’s clear mandate and Jesus’ Great Commission.
