Monterrey Experience – June 15th
Well, what an amazing full day of minstry.
The day started with a 6am wake up call and a 6:30 devotional meeting. Everyone was then set free for 45 minutes of quiet time before breakfast. And I’m telling you, the food we are being served is amazing. The three little Mexican ladies do a wonderful job of mixing traditional and American foods at each meal. And we are really being fed well.
Robbi was feeling much better this morning. Thanks for praying for her.
After breakfast we loaded up our vans and headed out to three ministry venues.
The construction team moved 40 wheelbarrows full of aggrigate from the ground to the second floor of a church TIME is adding on to. That’s about 17 buckets of aggrigate per wheelbarrow times 40. We accomplished that in under three hours.
The soccer camp had a very small turn out, but they had fun with what kids showed up. We announced the camp at tonights park ministry so hopefully there will be more tomorrow.
The group that went to the daycare had a great group of about 20 kids all under the age of four years old. What a blast they had playing with the kids and teaching them Bible stories and doing crafts with them. They had a great time. There are even a few special needs kids there.
This afternoon we went down town to shop at an open-air mall. It was pretty hot but we were able to go into stores that had air conditioning…a wonderful treat.
After dinner tonight we went down to the park about a block away and had a wonderful turn0ut for tonights park program. We played water games, had face painting and tons of bubbles flying. We performed our spanish version of Billy Bass and friends puppet show and Gary Overman gave his testimony followed by a gospel presentation by the local pastor. There were close to 80 kids there and that number will continue to grow in the next two days.
Just a few bumps and bruises after the day…the Lord has protected us well so far, please pray for that to continue.
I’m so excited about how our team is responding to the challenges they are being faced with. It’s great to see the team come together and work together. I’ll try and attach a pic or two, not sure if it will work or not.
