HOT HOT HOT

Here we are in Heroica Cardenas, Mexico.  This is the part where we are starting to drive east on the south of the gulf coast.  We had a beautiful night last night on the beach of one of the towns called Palma Sola, Mexico.  We got there 1:30 am and the guys went for a swim yet.  Then this morning we had an awesome mexican breakfast at one of the beach restaurants where they also provided showers.  Let me tell you, a shower sure feels good after 48 hours of not having one.  Today we have been blessed on the drive with amazing scenery and tropical trees.  Banana, mango, coconut, orange, Pineapple trees are not sparse here.  We also had our taste of raw sugarcane, which is way more sweeter and better than sugar in a store.  We drove through a long stretch of 101 F (38 C) with extremely high humidity.  The guys have been having an awesome time and the vans have been really nice to us thus far.  Pray for continuing safety for the vehicles and ourselves and please also pray for our mission to ever shine though where ever we go.  Thank you for all your support.  The number of views that we see on our blog site surely shows us how many people care.  It's a really big blessing!!!!!  Thank you!!

So glad to hear the border crossing went well. Sounds like you guys are leaving a lot of Jesus wherever you go. He's promised not to leave you standing by the side of the road...He's gonna stick with you.

Praying for your safety and health. Live each day to the max!!

It's exiting to read about the trip. If you guys keep driving south just a bit you could visit Johannes' home church.
Blessings to you guys as you continue in this divine adventure.
By the way, whoever is doing the blog, great job (although you should show some pictures of the "pineapple trees")!
Saludos a Johannes y bendiciones. Estoy orgulloso de que seas parte de esta aventura!

Hey, great to hear you guys are doing well and making good progress. I concure with Mathias Duck and want to see a 'pineapple tree' (they grow on bushes on the ground). We are following your journey and seeking to uphold you in prayer. By the way, Mexican traffic infractions ALL have the amounts of the fine (multa) on the back so that you can easily verify how much the traffic violation 'should' cost you! All the best as you seek to cross into Belize. God bless!!

Ptl that you and your vehicles are doing well. Midnight swim in the ocean sounds pretty nice, seeing as the water up here is still quite cold.
Do pineapples really grow on trees??
We're praying for you.
