high-five for spring break

i'm going to Matamoros, Mexico from March 12 to the 18th for my spring break. I'm actually going with EvFree's Echo college ministry from Austin. I'm not really sure what to expect or actually what we'll be doing...just something about construction and day camps for children. But i'm a little excited, a little worried.

if you could remember me and my group going in your prayers: 1) they have me leading a small group. I have no idea who is going on this trip except for one good friend of mine...but other than that, i have no clue who's going. And it was funny that they chose me to be a leader since i don't go to the fellowship nor do i go the UT. Just pray that i'm able challenge my group and be what a leader is suppose to be. 2) there's been some pretty major disturbances around that area. I found this article from worldnews.com

"This year's worries have arisen because at least 27 U.S. citizens have vanished since August while visiting three Mexican border cities including Matamoros as a war between drug cartels for control of the cross-border trade in marijuana and cocaine has escalated."

"The bodies of three men who had been blindfolded and shot in the head were found Wednesday in a pickup truck abandoned along a highway near the U.S-Mexico border, police said."

if you could just pray for our safety while we're there, traveling in and out of mexico, and for the health of our team. 3) i'll be driving from Arlington to Austin around midnight that friday and driving back from Austin to Arlington the next Friday...and i tend to get sleepy on the road. Just pray that i'll make it back ok. And feel free to call me to keep me up. Thanks you guys.
