From John Steczkowski:
I wanted to give ya'll an update on what the meeting was about (everyone else was on the call)... Anyway, there is good news and bad news.
First the bad news...
Due to some late breaking news in Monterrey, the church's international security consultant has recommended that we cancel the trip to Monterrey. But, the GO office has uncovered another opportunity for us in Puebla, Mexico (southeast of Mexico City). This area and logistics have been approved by the security consultant and has little or no activity that we've been reading about so much in the papers.
The basic trip will be to help construct "water boxes" in some villages to provide clean water to the village. After these water boxes are installed,the villages can expect to see a 98% decrease in water-borne illnesses.
We will also be training the children of the village about basic sanitation, etc.
We will also spend several afternoons working in an orphanage there.
Puebla is at 7,000 ft in the mountains, so the weather is mild, but we will need to be careful about sunscreen.
So the big question is.... are you still interested in going? Jim - are you planning on going?
I need to get plane tickets taken care of tomorrow.
We will be flying in to Mexico City and then taking a bus to Puebla. We will stay at a hotel in Puebla that is just down the street from the missionaries house.
