There and Back Again!

I say the famous words, "There and Back Again", because we went through all the passport rigamarole and checked out great, but.......we weren't okayed to cross because we didn't have the original title to the van or the title for the trailer (which would have to be in someone's name here anyway). So they made us turn around by entering Mexico and getting in a long line to exit Mexico. :) Let the fun begin! Also, we had given the $1,600 that was collected in the village for children's church and matresses that Nicole bought to Jason this morning which he promptly turned into pesos and he went to the washroom while we were taking care of our passport business and left his bag there. When he realized this, he ran back as fast as he could and someone had already taken the envelope out of his bag. This is terrible because Jason feels REALLY BAD. We are trying to get him out of it to no avail so far. He said he "will not be very social today". This has taken him out.

However, we don't care about the money. It's all God's and I'm sure whoever has it needs it worse. I do pray it is used for a good purpose. Who knows? Maybe God will induce the thief to return it. The possibilities are endless. Is this a recipe for God to show his awesome works and powers, or what? Now we are back in the good ol' USA, and our next plan of action after prayer is to try to cross at another bridge. Jason and Asher have parked the van and trailer outside of a McDonalds (where everyone else is taking advantage of good coffee and great wifi :) and walked to the bridge to talk to officials.

So, Mala, Aubrey, and myself are currently blogging as fast as we can to get the news out. I'm sure there were be another post before the day ends to update everyone as well. There is a competition for blogging going on right now. I feel like a reporter who has the "scoop" and am hurriedly trying to commit to post....
