we are here

Hola and greetings from Hotel Santa Fe Express in downtown (warm) Culiacan, Mexico.
Our travel yesterday was uneventful...just a long day.  We arrived in Mazatlan on time and made it through customs.  We dined in the charter bus with our to go orders from McDonalds.  I had McPollo and it was pretty good.  John went crazy and had BBQ sauce on his.  We arrived in Culiacan around 12:30 (1:30 your time), so the alarm went off too early this morning.
Today we spent most of the day at our sister church, Emmanuel Baptist.  Our exuberrant service ended at 2:30, and we immediately were served lunch.  It was great to be together with our mexican friends worshiping in thier culture.  We are now relaxing and working on our assignments for tomorrow.  Tonights dinner is at Papas Locas, our favorite outdoor restaurant..mmmmm. the closest thing to a Tiki Hut!  Go Packers.
We are heading out to Progreso tomorrow and look forward to spending the afternoon with the children with a mini-Bible school.
There was a cold snap in the area recently where the temps went below freezing for 5 hours....which does not bode well for the tomatoes, peppers, corn and beans.  There is not time to plant another crop, so everyone is waiting to find  out the outcome from this possible disater.  This will affect peoples jobs and the economy.
Back here at the hotel, we don;t have the usual noise of traffic here to lull us to sleep.  There is none because there is no street in front.  Instead of climbing over piles of snow back home we are climbing over rubble and base layers of rock that will eventually be the new street.
That's the report for now..........stay tuned.  Please continue to pray for our team and our work here.
For the team, (Packers)
Peggy and John
ps...who won?
