It just seems like everything went smoothly (well, as much as things can on the Mexico trip). The teens did a fantastic job working hard and together to pull off VBS. Travel went smoothly until the end (van breakdown in the pass from Anchorage). Women's ministry was amazing with a huge group in the new Delta village. Construction team worked really, really hard to make astonishing progress on the building project. And as always, time with family and friends was sweet, sweet fellowship!<div> <img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586978223130300546" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4TvxMDwasbI/TYjvF8WGUII/AAAAAAAAArA/hli-Qq35Vqg/s400/RE%2B2011%2B%252810%2529.JPG" /></div><div> Me and BFF Lety</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
