Mexico Mission Trip 6/20/07

Today we continued to work on the walls on the second floor. We filled alot of columns so that was a lot of mixing of concrete and carrying buckets of concrete to the second floor. Everyone worked hard today. This week's weather has been unusually cooler and we have had some rain all three days. Today we worked straight through the rain singing and having a good time but still working very hard. Today was our last day working on this site because Rick Owens (the missionary) wanted to take us to a town and spend some time in a community that he has built a church building in. He has only ever taking one other group there so this will be a special day. Since it was our last day, we exchanged gifts and contact info and shared hugs, songs, and gifts. The elders that were on the trip prayed over the minister and the ministries that will go on at the site we worked on. It was a moving experience....

We were invited to another church in town (where the church we were working on meets until this building is done) for Wed. night service. We sang, prayed and had a lesson and then enjoyed a meal together. Afterwards some of the team played soccer outside. Let's just say the Mexicans are very good at soccer... It was a great night to fellowship and to enjoy each others company.

Continued prayers for the group and the things that are going on in Mexico...
