Fun at the beach!

We had a great rest day at the beach. Lots of fun, tacos and oppertunity to get mementos.

When we went on the trailer out into the streets of Mexico, we recruited people we didn't even know to come and watch the drama, play games, and laugh at puppets. These people also were able to come up and ask for prayer towards the end of the rally. Kayleigh and I had the opportunity to pray for a man who recently lost his mom. Watching his face as he asked for prayer was like watching a warrior admit defeat. His face became a mask filled with pain. His eyes filled with tears as we started praying and as others on our team started praying for those around us I began to feel Gods presence around our team. So many voices praying at once was so powerful and I'm not ashamed to say that by the time we were done, Kayleigh And I were both in tears. I learned that when life is hard, and when it feels like the end of the world, God is there for you. Whether it is through a mission team from another country or through a friend God will find a way to reach you and let you know he never leaves your side. Mexico has been awesome!

I amgoing through a lot of life changing experiences this week, but the biggest one was on Thursday when we went out on the trailer. I prayed for a little boy named Jose who was blind in one eye. We sat there and prayed for awhile and I could feel God shining down on us. After about 10 minutes we stopped to see how he was feeling. Nothing changed in his vision but it changed my spirtual life forever.

Vamos a la playa

Today is our day off and we are heading to the beach in rosarito after church at Rancho. The team has worked so hard this week and we are all looking forward to some down time on the beach. I'll try and post some pictures later.

Saturday ministry recap

We spent the afternoon and evening at a church in Tijuana that was very small an on a mountainside. It was a converted car port. We went out and invited people from the community but only 4 people showed up! The team was discouraged but did an amazing job and it turned out that this ministry time was such a learning experience for the team. At campfire we talked about how we could have given up or complained or had a bad attitude. But God gave us a termenous time with those he brought. It doesn't matter how many but how we serve.
