        As always the summer has begun with a bang! After flying a few hundred miles over the United States I landed in Matamoros, Mexico. For those of you who do not know, I have been hired by Adventures In Missions to project facilitate this summer. Currently, I am living in a little campo, or village, that hold AIM’s permanent housing and mission facilities. It is a beautiful piece of property overlooking fields of okra. 
   
   The permanent staff here includes two families and one female member. They will be supervising the Facilitators as we work with Youth Leaders and Pastors scheduled to be here. The facility can hold over 200 people and is shared by AIM’s Bible College, where local people come to study missions.

Please pray for us as we start receiving groups and working on projects. I would love prayer as I start facilitating groups. That God would give me a mind to understand all the logistics and compassion as I work with various groups of kids.

I love you all very much, and I promise my blogs will get more exciting as things start happening!

Love, emily
