Hi from Mexico...

The youth from our church is on a short term mission trip to Mexico with Purpose21 Ministries.

Here's part of an email we got from one of the chaperones.

>Hi everybody,
>   I sent this to the three of you in hopes someone will read this soon and
>forward it to everyone else. I bet everyone is wondering how we are all
>doing. I have to be brief as we have a service soon. But let me just say we
>covet your prayers and they are being affective.
>
>   The time so far has been great!  For starters we had no problemo
>crossing the border. We flew right through. Last night we were ministering
>at a small village that has a missions outreach. It was like a scene right
>out of a movie. It was so so so neat.
>
>   The youth have been ministering totally "out of their box." They have
>definetly redefined their comfort zone. They have been incredible. I don't
>feel like we have had to prod them at all. It's been so great to see.
>
>   Today we were at a school in Valle Hermoso. We painted and cleaned.It
>was very hot. But we accomplished a lot. Then we ministered at a small
>church and had a childrens rally. Total 66 kids got saved and 12 adults.
>(Sorry don't have numbers from last night.) But many were saved last night
>as well. They fed us authentic Mexican food. It was wonderful!
>
>   The kids seem to be dealing well with the food. No one had been sick.
>Keep praying that's the case. Everyone seems to be having a good time. They
>worked very hard today, no joke. We all really did.Although it rained in
>Reynosa it did not rain much where we were about an hour away. The pool at
>the hotel looked really good when we got back.So they
>   were well rewarded.
>
>   Got to go. We have a service in a few minutes. It's been great. Keep
>praying and we will see you when we get back. This is most likely the only
>correspondence you will get. But we are all doing great. Have lots to tell
>when we get back.
