Kay, I am planning to go to Durango Mexico the 27th of December, to spend a week with my husband. His sister lives in Monterrey, and originally we were planning to meet there. We are in the construction business, and I am going to look into the possibility of moving there and establishing a business there. I do not know how any of this will help your friends, but I have long thought the Lord wished to use me in ministry there.
    You can email me at elenalareina@comcast.net or call me anytime at 770-310-1201. My husband Lico has several brothers and cousins also still in Mexico, though Durango is not close to Monterrey, but I was told a 12 hour bus trip. Perhaps while I am there with a rental car I can be of help. I also have a friend who owns a house near Guadalajara and drives down several times a year, and travels right thru Monterrey. She has invited me to accompany her several times. Perhaps I should think about driving down in my truck and carrying some things with me. I live in the Atlanta GA area and could drive to New Orleans to spend the night, then the next day to the border town of MacAllen Tx, which is only about 90 miles from Monterrey. Maybe that is why I have not yet been able to get a plane ticket to fly there, so if the Lord gives us clear direction about this mission, then perhaps I am to be involved. Call me anytime,
Ellen
