First trip as organization

This is our first trip as an organization.  We went to Saltillo, Mexico in June of 2004.  What an awesome trip!  What an awesome group of people.  We could not have had a better team for our first trip.  We worked with a mission group called Silver Lining also pictured.  We had 13 in our group.
