Hola canadians!
So Kris isn't here at the moment so there won't be any pictures because we're inept. However hopefully it will be enough to hold you over til then.
So a few updates since our last blog: We have worked at the Mission, the Church across the line, and some work in Mascarenas. Today is our day off so we have some time to update you. Otherwise we have been pretty busy and wil continue to be busy this week.
The Mission (Cross Roads Mission Rescue) is a facility like those we have in Canada for homeless (ex: Mustard Seed) but its orientated toward the illegals in the states. When they make it over the line they are left with nothing so the Mission provides meals and clothes. We worked in the kitchen and did some work with the clothing there on Saturday. We made lunches and helped with serving and setup for lunch.
Our work across the line (border) in Mexico at the Church with Darwin has been awesome! We have painted the inside (as you saw) and now the outside including doors, and the metal fencing around the church. We since have been a part of the sunday school yesterday and we were the service afterwards. It was a grand experience as we were able to do skits, testimonies and a little bit of preaching with some help from translation.
Yesterday after the church service we journeyed out to Mascarenas to do some work at the church there. The whole group worked on a trench where a rock wall will be built. However because of Nick's back he was unable to to help so he (I) went with Darwin and the pastor to visit people around the community.
Prayer Requests for the Team:

I'm looking forward to hearing more about your experiences when you get back. We spent several days helping in Mascarenas 6 years ago now. Hope you continue to have your "world-view" expanded.
I'm wondering if you could ask Leonie to get in touch with me if she is still with your group. Thanks and God Bless
Lynne
