Mission Blogging

A friend of mine and frequent commentor on this blog, Jake Isham, left a couple of days ago to go to Mexico. He along with others from his church are on a mission trip to help build a church in Los Mochis. He sent me a quick update today, and I have asked him if he can continue this so that I may post his updates for all to read.

Here's his first update:

Well, we made it safely to Los Mochis. You would not believe the place where we are building the church. The "houses" around it are just half completed block structures that people abandoned so the poor buy them from the government at a price they will never be able to pay back. They donīt have complete walls or doors. Itīs so sad. These people need a place to find some hope. It is Sunday, and we have spent most of the day in the Baptist Church that is building the church. I have eaten way too much already. Tomorrow we start work at 9am sharp. We eat lunch at 2pm, then work until 6 or 7pm. We come home next Saturday. Anyway, Iīll try to update you on our progress as we go. Later man. Seacrest Out.

More to come. I'm sure he'll be more formal now that he knows he's going to have a public audience (at least no more American Idol references). heh

Speaking of mission trips, I'm going to have some news to pass along regarding Moldova soon (which I blogged about a few weeks ago). Stay tuned...
