First Day in Mexico

We arrived in Mexico on Thursday evening (2/21) and got checked into our hotel, etc.
On Friday morning we went shopping to fill the refrigerator, and that evening we went to The Pan de Vida church to see if the missionary pastor and his family were there.

Bible school was finished when we arrived at the church, but the Vasquez family was still there. They were not expecting us, so you can imagine what a surprise it was when Damaris saw us walking toward the church! She and mom went running to each other and just hugged and cried!!!

Truly a "family reunion". On the left is Damaris and Luis (two of the pastor's children) Pastor Luis Miguel welcomes mom and Mrs. Lupita is standing to the right.

Here is Pastor Luis' other daughter, Dana, holding one of the baby's.
We didn't know it, but one of the young lady's from church - Laura was turning 15 the next day and everyone was preparing for the traditional 15-year fiesta. They invited us and we agreed to come early and decorate, serve drinks, etc.
