The Long Awaited Culture Shock Pt.2

So since our last blog a lot has happened. The reason for the long wait is because internet was down in our billets home and then their computer needed fixing so we have finally found an internet source to update yet another blog.
We can´t possibly tell you everything we have done so we will highlight some events. The first big event we were a part of was the Fiestininios here at the church. This was a childrens festival held for the community and church family. The other things we have done were church services and a little childrens program the day before fiestininos. These all so far, except for one, have been outlets to give out Operation Christmas Child boxes to the children. All of these experiences were amazing, the children love it. Health'wise everyone on the team is quite well and praise God Jenn is doing awesome! The culture here continues to surprise and stretch us out of our comfort zones as well as show us how much God works in the world. We have uploaded photos, hope you enjoy! Until next time PEACE!

Thanks for the updates. All of us parents left behind need to have them. Its awesome to hear how God is using each of you down there in Mexico. So I agree with the earlier comment: continue letting your "light of Christ" shine blindly thru to everyone you encounter! God Bless you guys! We miss you & are so very proud of you too!
