Hola once again

Hello!

So these past few days have been awesome. Theyve been busy but not too busy, a good way to end off our trip I would say.

So Saturday we went out to Mascarenas again and did a small kids service in the church. About 15 kids showed up and it was very very fun. We did our skits and even lead the song 'Father Abraham' in spanish (we didnt know the words that well) and the kids loved the actions because they were different than what they were used to. It was a real good experience this whole trip doing stuff with the kids in Mazatlan and in Nogales.

Yesterday we did the whole church service at Triumph Lutheran. Pastor Ted and his wife Karla are our hosts here in Nogales as you may or may not have known, we are staying in a couple houses on his property and the church is at the top of the hill. The congregation is quite small with little variation in age but they were very encouraging and welcoming. We did a few skits, lead worship and Nick and Jenn shared their testimonies (for the first time all in English without needing translation!) So they were able to talk a little longer, which Nick definitely did. . . haha

Today the boys all went to the barber and got hair cuts from a lady who knows Dan and Leonnie and Ted and Karla and i'll just say she did a good job. Ryan has less hair than he has this whole trip! Today is our free day and we are cleaning packing and working on our presentation for all you crazy Canadians. Tomorrow we leave for Tucson where we will then fly to Edmonton! Almost Home-time!

Until the next update! (there will be more)

Ryan has less hair? Is that code for "the moustache is gone?" because that would be shocking.
