Hello, Friends!!! Today has been a busy but beautiful day! This morning we were able to help out around Casa de Paz folding and sorting clothing donations, weeding and raking, and later doing our projects with the kids!! The children seemed to enjoy playing with Play-Doh and coloring , building rockets, and stitching crosses with us, and we were blessed by seeing them excited to do these things with us!
After lunch, we did a hubcap hunt on our way to Mission Mixteco. We found a Nissan, an unidentifiable one, and finally one that matched our van. Unfortunately, it’s broken. If anyone would like a souvenir hubcap from Mexico, email Steve and we’ll see if we can hook you up!!!
At Mixteco, some of us cleaned at a school there, and the men painted over graffiti and assisted in projects around the home of Andy and Monica, a beautiful missionary couple that has been serving in that region for many years. They blessed us incredibly by making us quesadillas with all the fixin’s and sharing with us more of what the Lord has been doing in that region. Their hospitality is so incredible—they live
in a 2 bedroom house with 1 bathroom, and when we visited yesterday they had a group of 20 or so staying with them. I don’t know about you, but over 20 people to 1 bathroom/1 shower? From what I hear, this was not an exception! They had said the house and the land is on loan to them. How better could they use something God gave them than to leave it wide open for use to anyone with a heart to serve Him?
Some of the younger guys also had a soccer tournament of sorts with the kids in the neighborhood there, all this after doing the work with the team!!!!! They were of course slaughtered by the Mexican team, but it was fun.
We arrived home locked out of our room with a new puppy roaming the patio. It’s 6:30, and we are anxiously awaiting dinner. Sooo, until I write again, may the Lord bless you immensely!
