Day 2 in Mexico










































































































Well the team has survived so far with no stomach issues however a few of them are having some sinus issues so pray that Our Lord will give the strength to fight off these germs and stay health to do his work this week. They had a hug day Monday they had over 40 more kids than their largest day last year the total on Monday was somewhere around total of 120 and today Tuesday they had over 135 so WOW the turn out has been awesome they had to get additional transportation for the kids to come to the VBS. Luke said he and all the others were having their hearts changed tremendously. He also said it was just so moving to see the God Lord working in some many ways especially through love because love has no boundaries... and because of the love they are showing the kids and the love that they show them for being with them the language issue didn't/doesn't really exist they seems to be able to read each other by facial expression and body language. On Monday after VBS they went out delivering CD tracks witnessing and the last four men that they gave Cd 's too were some workers that were working on a building and after about 10 minutes the oldest of the gentlemen walked over to them and started discussing the message with them telling them that he didn't believe it because he was a Jehovah witness and after several minutes with him and going over scripture with him he started opening his heart to them and asked for another meeting with them on Tuesday also there was another worker that came over and was discussing his religious believes and was disappointment with them due to he felt his was more or a symbolic religion and he was missing out on a one on one personal relationship with the Lord so they are praying that he comes back on Tuesday as well. The block party was not so big on Monday only 10 showed up but they still had a great time and was looking forward to more showing up on Tuesday. Luke was a little nervous about Tuesday arriving because he had to lead his first ever service... I don't know how that went yet I know it had to have gone well because Jesus knew where his heart was and he will give him the knowledge and strength to get through it. He sent a few pics to share with everyone....funny that I am typing this right now Luke just called with and update and he said he still hasn't done his lesson yet he was fixing to do it in a few minutes and that they double their #'s at the night block party to 19 tonight and he had a great dinner at Rosetta's house they had chicken soup after dinner they went to the Virgin Mary's statue and then to the top of the mountain and prayed over the city he said that was awesome and finally one of the most important events tonight was the Jehovah witness Amigo showed back up but the other gentleman didn't however his daughter came to VBS so they still are able to work through him through his daughter so pray that they can do that...Luke is still well with no stomach issues. Missing his babies badly you can tell because that is the 1st thing he ask about. We are missing him too.
