Safely in Queretaro

We've made it to Queretaro, Mexico safely.  There were no problems with the flight other than having to wait through our four-hour layover.  We got into Queretaro around 7:00 and went through customs quite fine with two people being checked, but no problems.
Today we were able to join a local church where the missionaries here go.  Everyone was practicing how to say their name with "mi nombre es..." and "soy..." as we knew we would be standing up to introduce ourselves.  I think the service got to be a little long for those not understanding, but I can tell you that it was a good service and I do think everyone enjoyed being a part of it.
Afterwards, the youth group came over to the missionaries' house where we're staying for some pizza before heading to a town outside of Queretaro called Salamanca.  There our team showed puppets with music and the youth group showed a compelling skit.  Afterwards we played with the little kids there.  It was a blessed time, and everyone enjoyed themselves, especially on the ride there and back conversing with the youth group with our best (and successful) effort.
Tomorrow we will be working with construction for much of the day.  Please continue to pray that we have the energy and the ability to work with a joyful heart in serving our Lord.
