Mexico City Pics Day 4

So, in an effort to provide more and better pictures with a smaller email, it has been brought to my attention that a blog is the perfect way to do this! So, without further ado, the pictures.


The first is of a small room in one of the houses, where the church served us lunch. We rotated through as soon as we arrived, mainly because we were so late. It was absolutely one of the most fulfilling meals I have had in awhile. It was a simple meal, chicken, potatoes, rice, sauce, white bread, bananas, water, and grapes the size of a golf ball, but it felt like a feast because I was so satisfied when it was over and could literally feel the love and devotion and care and appreciation that was put into serving us. I sometimes wonder if we are called on such mission trips more for an impact on the people we serve or the way God moves in our own hearts and lives.


This next picture is of this tiny little girl that spent a lot of the day in our children’s area. Just for reference, the girl painting her hand is 13, from Alaska, and significantly smaller than me (although that applies to a lot of people anyways). This Mexican child is tiny compared to her, so when she put her hand in mine, it hardly even knew it was there. She was so cute, couldn’t hardly speak any Spanish, carried her little espada (sword) around everywhere. It is so encouraging to know that this small life will be growing up surrounded by people completely dedicated to living out and spreading the gospel of Christ.


This picture is the view from out in front of the two homes the church currently meets at. As far as they eye can see, it's dirt roads and cinder block homes. We are technically outside the boundaries of Mexico City here, and into the State of Mexico.










The last picture is the dirt road we set the tents up on. In the forefront is the children's area, with registration behind and left, medical behind and right. Directly to the left of the children's area is the room the church set up for counseling.











Well, that's it for today's pictures, I don't want to put too much in here, or else it would take forever to get through, and if you 've made it this far, you've already invested enough time reading my email!
