Reynosa is a border town of McAllen, TX. We were working with a group called "World Servants." We were serving a church plant in one of the "colonias", a poor small village town. We were mainly doing construction/renovation work, a kids club program and reaching out to the moms in the area. We had a great team, taking 7 excellent students along with Heather and my assistant Ashleigh. There were also a few other churches there- specifically one from Quebec, Canada. It was so cool to be in Mexico, hearing lots of Spanish, and then hearing French as well. It was quite an international experience- the only real issue was that it was so freaking hot! Anytime you went outside you would start sweating almost immediately! Ah, but the Lord was gracious. We had a great trip. We also had a tough time recovering! The food was really good, but post trip it also was, uh, not exactly coming out quite the same way that it should. I'll spare you the details, but we thought we might have had some kind of parasite. It appears that that is not the case, but it also made week 2 a little uncomfortable!
