Amy Heckman Serving with New Tribes Mission in Mexico 
On February 9th we received word from the Mexico leadership that we could come down to Mexico, due to the rise in our support. Crystal has written more about the details, so to read her story click here. They told us they would like us to be in El Paso, TX by the 24th of February, for some orientation. So I spent the next 3 weeks packing, and saying goodbyes. It was a hard time, but a very sweet time, spending precious time with family and friends. I flew from FL to TX, and only took 3 suitcases, a carry on and a personal item. In El Paso we had a day and a half of orientation. Then on the 26th, we drove into Mexico.
We left around 8 am, and made it easily into Mexico. They had found an apartment for us the day before, and so when we got into town, they took us to our apartment, and we were able to unload and unpack a bit. We had a friend take us shopping to get some basic supplies. He and his wife then took us to meet our pastor and his family, for supper. They asked what all we needed, and made sure we had everything we needed the first night. That was the first day. Since then, in the three weeks that we have been here, we have had many adventures. I will include some of these adventures in the next couple entries.
