We're here!

We made it to the base! All of our flights were on time, the rental car was ready, and the GPS didn't get us lost! Puerto Rico is a beautiful country. We had to drive through the mountains to get Ponce and the views were breathtaking. We pulled over for a quick photo shoot. We hit a little bit of traffic and had an interesting time ordering McDonalds in Spanish but we made it here. We are 1 of 3 groups and definitely the smallest. There are 49 people in total. The base is nice and the staff is great. The part of town we are in is very safe and colorful. Every house is a different color and the park is full of funny looking lion statues. We also stopped and ate some "ice cream" but it's more like a creamy water ice. It was refreshing since it's 91 degrees. Chapel was great as well. The message for the week is dealing with our "baggage." It's a challenging topic to talk about but Jesus is faithful and loving so it's going to be good! Pray for continued safety, open hearts, and God's will to be done! We are starting our project tomorrow so check back to read about it!! Love and miss you all! The Puerto Rico Mission Team :-)
