Boot Camp has officially begun here in Mexico!
Obstacle Course Prep
Monday was spent finishing up the obstacle course. We installed Jacob's Ladder, completed construction on the wall, and filled the slough with water. It was a big day of teamwork and accomplishment.
Sightseeing and Team Bonding
On Tuesday, we took a break to explore the local culture. We visited the Guachimontones pyramids, where we learned about the ancient civilizations of the region. Afterward, we enjoyed lunch at a lakeside restaurant near La Vega Lake, followed by some fun and relaxation at a small waterpark. The team also got to test out the obstacle course wall together, definitely a highlight for everyone!

Classes and Worship

Weather
We’ve been blessed with beautiful weather, highs in the low 80s and a refreshing breeze, though we’ve had a few rain showers.
Final Thoughts
It’s been a joy to be a part of what God is doing here. Even with language differences, worshiping together reminds us that we are one body in Christ, working together to love, encourage and bring the good news of salvation to everyone.
