So, our very first day and night in Mazatlan.
Its been a fiesta and a half. We flew in this morning at 6:45 am and arrived in Mazatlan around 12 give or take a few whatevers, we were and are very tired. It was a grand experience on the plane for all especially Nick being it his first plane ride. We arrived at the airport, went through customs, and couldnt help but notice the colorful airport we had entered into. It was like purple and blue and sweet. we soon found out the whole city is like that, except all the colors of the rainbow in all kinds of combinations.
we arrived at the church/bible institute and met Guatalupe (sp?) our host. We went through our itinerary(more on this later) and then strolled the streets for a little bit before leaving for our billets.
We (Nick and Ryan) then went over to Rosillie(our billet) moms house where the entire and we mean entire family showed up for the most amazing shrimp and whatever else we were eating that there ever was in all of our lives. We definitely left a 5 inch high pile of shrimp shells (which sounds weird but their shrimp is different then our ignorant idea of shrimp) and it was gooooood. So now we are here in her house, Es Mucho Hermoso (we learned that today haha). And we´re blogging. So this has been another edition of the team mexico of awesomeness blog, tune in next time when we teach you our version of spanish!
Love: Nick Joyal & Ryan The Dittmann Jimmy

Greetings from the winter wonderland of New Westminster (go figure Kris!) You've been much on my heart and in my prayers today - glad to hear you've arrived safely and are quickly adjusting to the food!
Hey all, glad you got there with no major problems. I was thinking about you a lot yesterday. I'm looking forward to learning some spanish ;)
Hi Nick & team members,
So glad that you all made it safely. Praise the Lord! Glad to hear that you're first moments were good. I miss you already son. You should see the snow here now - its a few feet high in our yard & you should see the farm yard! Loren got the big tractor snow blower running & had to "blow snow" so we could get out. You're Baba said that if you're head or sinuses bothered you while flying at any time, then take a couple of sinus pills before you fly the next time & you'll have no problems & you'll feel great. Can't wait to hear all the new experiences & adventures that God has in store for all of you. Please take care & be safe always. You're forever in our prayers & thoughts, all of you. God Bless you all.
Love, Mom (Ro)
Good job Ryan and Nick!
