MEXICALI--A Fantastic Week!

Thank you so much to all of you who prayed for us in Mexicali. The week went soooo well--your prayers were vital and very evident. Here are a few pictures from our trip:
This is Ricardo, a sweet little guy at my site--Robledo. He was always sitting so quietly and attentively, and loved doing all the crafts. This was a cross that had colored strips woven through it like a basket. It wasn't easy for them to do, but he persevered.
This is Jessie and Brad at El Campo, a big open field where kids come to play in the afternoon. It was our service project for the first day, so we picked up all the big rocks, glass, etc. that were strewn across it.


Some days we held an impromptu mini-VBS at El Campo. The puppets are always ready to perform.



This is a picture of boys just wanting their picture taken at El Campo. Their school is in the background on the other side of the fence. They loved to play soccer and were usually able to beat our high schoolers!

So glad to hear the trip went well and to see some pictures. It is great of you to bridge the gap and accompany all those young people. Hopefully many seeds were planted that will produce in the years to come.
