Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well. I am writing from an internet cafe here in Cancun Mexico. it is about a ten minute walk from the house we are staying in, and amazing or what..it has air conditioning!
Everything is going well here in Cancun. We spent most of the week working on a church and spending time with the children in the village around the church. Yesterday some of the team was able to put a roof on a house for a family who needed it! Also some handed out clothing to families that needed it.
I´m learning a lot about what it means to always always always speak lovingly and to deal with issues as they arise with God´s eyes! We have a team of 19 students and in a lot of ways my job is to make sure the girls on the team are doing ok, and have somebody they can talk to about things. Being on the mission field is lots of fun, it´s very rewarding, but there are also a lot of tough things to go through!
Every day I walk to the store and we get bread- the bread is sooooo good! Seriously, fresh rolls every day...it cost only about 2.00 for enough bread for the whole team, so we buy it fresh every day. We are eating a lot of pineapples and mangos, tortillas, beans and rice. I could live off of it all forever!
Today we went to two church services. Both were translated into English which was really nice. The team shared dramas at both churches to encourage the people!
We had an opportunity to also share dramas and testimonies at the park right by where we are staying. It´s fun because we can go back again and again and build friendships with the people.
Thanks for praying for us!
