It is no small task to try to recap this mission experience, but I believe I can speak for every member of the Lipscomb Volleyball Baja Missions team that we will remember this experience for the rest of our lives. I would like to first start out by thanking everyone who made this happen. Thank you to the people who gave financially for team members to go, lives were changed because of your generosity. Thank you to Pilar and Panfilo who quite literally were always there for us at the drop of a hat. They both were pictures of Jesus.

Considering how exhausted the team and community was from a long concrete pour yesterday, today was different from our normal routine. We had a full day of travel through the region, being blown away by the outstanding natural beauty and wonders of winding country roads.

Dearest reader,

Woke up today to the sound of Kenzie stomping into our room to try and cycle the power this morning, because the power had dropped again during the night. The power has been on and off since we arrived, which in a way has been a nice thing to witness because it really shows the need for what we’re doing on this trip and the benefit of these long hot days on the roof wiring up solar panels.

In March I had the privilege of working with my former professor and a few fellow Lipscomb Alums to do some accounting work for Ciudad de Angeles, an orphanage in Cozumel, Mexico. During our time in Cozumel we were able to inspect the financial records of the non‐profit, interview staff members, and develop an understanding of the organization’s ministry.

What a CRAZY week (cue Humberto’s voice). For real though. What a week. One that felt like a year while at the same time only feeling like a day. It is quite literally impossible to recap all that we saw, heard, and experienced but I will do my best to give you a glimpse into it.
