California/Mexico

During this trip God taught me -and is still teaching me- about trust, wisdom and patience. I am learning to trust God and the people in this group. Because of this trip i feel like this group is a lot closer and more united. The kid's clubs were amazing. We sang a song, did a skit, a puppet told a story, sang some more, and did games. At the end of the program and usually during the games, the kids would climb all over us and just want attention and love. The first kid's club we did there was a little girl about 2 or 3 years old and she wouldn't talk or smile. She was adorable. She just wanted to be held. We could not get her to smile, although, she almost smiled twice. Almost but not quite. The people down in Mexico were amazing. They didn't have very much, but what they had they were willing to give to us. We went to a church and because of the work that we had done for some members of the congregation, a man who owned a restaraunt wanted us to go and have lunch the next day there. The food was amazing and the man refused to let us pay. All he wanted was for us to pray for him and his family.
