Mexico Monday -Cinco de Mayo

In five weeks we will be in Mexico ... I am getting so excited. I thought I would let you know the overview of the week today. Everyday we will have a group teaching VBS to the orphans at Casa Hogar, a medical team that will set up clinics in the poorest areas to provide medication, vitamins, and the gospel, and a construction crew that is roofing this year. The American teenagers along with a mentor are rotating through all of these areas to get a complete taste of "missions". In the afternoons the VBS crew will be having recreation and art with the kids ... I am taking materials to make the "old school" friendship bracelets (remember those???). Our VBS curriculum has been finalized and is awesome (an answered prayer) ... we are doing Warriors for Christ and each day's focus goes along with a portion of the movie, Chronicles of Narnia. The art will connect as well with making the helmet of salvation, shield, etc. The recreation will also connect with team building projects, trust games, etc. It is fun to see this all come together.
This week's prayer focus: for the American teenagers' hearts to be open so they can receive a new perspective of our world with what they see and hear that week.
Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!!
