A Pelican's View: Mexico

Matt Pfingsten, founder and president of Praying Pelican Missions, loaded up his three dogs and drove from Duluth, Minnesota to Telchac Puerto, Mexico. Here are the updates of what he and his family are experiencing while living there:

Hi everyone,
The whole family has arrived safe and sound here in Telchac Puerto, Mexico.  After a 5 day road trip from Minnesota all the way through the heart of Mexico with our 3 pups, it was good to see my family arrive at the Merida airport.  We're really looking forward to having some quality family time and getting some new projects going that involve life at PPM.  I'm personally excited to be here, but am a little sad that the first drive through Mexico is already finished.  Driving over the border in Texas and then through the cities of Saltillo, San Luis Potosi, Mexico City, Puebla, Villahermosa, and finally through Merida made for a wonderful adventure.  I've always enjoyed the warmth of the Mexican people and knew the country was beautiful, but my journey with the dogs really emphasized it all the way through.  What a beautiful place to live!  The next few weeks here are going to be a special opportunity to live in an authentic fishing town and just "do life" with a Mexican community.  I'm excited to work, play, and spend time quieting myself to hear God's voice of direction for our lives and what He is up to in and around PPM.

Hasta pronto, amigos.
Matt and Gina Pfingsten (and family!)
