We made it into camp, about halfway between Tijuana and Tacate. Everyone is busy trying to make it homey.

Border crossing

We just cleared the mexican border. We spent an hour and half going through customs, going INTO Mexico. All the vans and trailer emptied and searched with special dogs. We weren't sure if the dogs were trained for drugs, explosives or chicken, but they didn't find anything.

Should be in camp in 30-40 minutes.

Getting ready to roll

Packing up the vans in SD, getting ready to cross into Mexico. We don't cross until 1:00. We'"l attend service at La Jolla Presbyterian this morning, head down to Imperial Beach, have lunch, pick up any last minute items and head across.

Everyone is doing great and having fun. Thank you for all you support in getting us here.

2010 Sleepy Hollow Presbyterian Church Mexico Mission

2010 Sleepy Hollow Presbyterian Church Mexico Mission

On June 12th, the Sleepy Hollow Presbyterian Church's Mexico Mission will embark on a trip to either Tijuana or Rosarito to build homes for those in need.

This year's Mexico Mission team consists of 80 people, mostly high school students lead by a smaller group of College students and adults. Last year's group, of about 60 people, built two double size houses and finished off another house that had been started by another group. We
look forward to the challenges of this year's building.

We hope that you will check in on us here on the blog. We will post an update at least once daily (usually in the evening) and we may post pictures with brief captions during the day. Please feel free to comment by clicking on the "comments" link below.
