The Best Laid Plans...

After devotions, this morning started off with a trip to a center for poor children. Those of us who were feeling good headed out with balloons while others stayed at the hotel to rest up for the weekend. At the school Lacey, Josiah, and Elizabeth all shared a story from their life with the children. Also Pastor Salazar sang two songs with them in Spanish.

When we finished up at the school it was about time for lunch so we all went out for Mexican food. After three and a half we got some food that was nothing like American Mexican food!!

Finally around four o clock we got out to get group pictures. After a quick shopping trip it was off to the evening kids’ program. Unfortunately, it started to rain just as we arrived, so there was no large group. (Our large group area is outside.) About the time we thought it would stop raining, it started to hail a half an inch!! Creativity was the order of the evening as large group became a mobile affair taking place in the small group rooms. It made for a challenging evening, but it worked.

Celina, for the team

Just playing with the kids and practicing our Spanish on them was lots of fun.

It was an interesting market we visited

Daniel with Pastor Mario and Pastor Abraham. We really enjoyed getting to know these men. They have such a heart for people. It was a pleasure to serve the Lord alongside them.
