Viva Mexico

I am finally leaving for Latin America after several years of wanting to go. I first had a passion to go and serve in another country about two years ago when me and a friend Mike would talk about starting a city in Africa. I am not going to start a city yet, but I do have dreams of making a connection with one of the ministries I serve with that allows me to go back again and again and use my construction skills to somehow further their ministry. I am going to Mexico from June 7^th- August 9^th where I will be leading groups coming from the states doing a variety of things but rarely construction. When I leave Mexico, I will go to Managua, Nicaragua to do solely construction on three orphanages.

I just wanted to get this blog started before I left and I will be periodically updating it with some stories and pictures probably some humorous ones about me being an southern man in a non-southern environment.

I would appreciate your prayers as I go and serve in another country.

This is a picture of the first thing i ever built in mexico over Christmas. tres poco ninos (three little boys) tore it down in 1/2 the time it took me to build it.
