We were blessed with many miracles during our trip, the first being blessings of the Lords protection, directly after we left Guatemala the country was hit by a tropical storm/hurricane that washed out bridges on the highway to Mexico effectively cutting off the country. Had we not left when we did we would not have been able to make the trip or possibly even injured in one of the many mudslides that covered the roads.

  There were a few complications at the border including having to wait an extra day as apparently Hyundai vehicles have non standard VIN and they had to call the office in Mexico City for permission.

  One of our daughters passports was due to expire in a week, normally most countries will not give you any sort of visa if you have so little time left on your passport, but the Lord did another miracle, the immigrations officer was very friendly and interested in our mission work, he saw the expiration date on the passport but agreed to give us a visa anyways, he told us he was very thankful for the work we were doing and wished us a safe trip.

  For those of you following the news in Mexico, the border areas have gotten quite dangerous with many murders, assaults and  kidnappings, once again God got us safely through this part of the country without any problems.
