Wednesday & Thursday

Hey Everyone!

So Wednesday was a very HOT and crazy day. The temperature was around a 11o and it felt like we were in a oven melting. Even though there was heat we went to a Cerebral Palsy Orphanage and was able to spend about 30 mins there. Although we could not clearly communicate with the kids we sang them songs and could see the joy in there eyes.

After the Orphanage we went to a soup kitchen where we played with kids and was able to pass out a dinner to a very poor neighbor hood. It was amazing to see the smile on thier faces when we gave them a meal. The minisitry has been going very well and we know it is due to your prayers!

After we were done at the soup kitchen we were able to go to the summer house of the base we are staying at and go swimming. It was an amazing reward to a hards day work. After some rough housing in the pool and a few scrapes and bruises we made it back to base and all went to sleep.

Thursday!

Today we did construction all day. We helped out Pastor Ramon, a loving guy who has given so much to his community that we were grateful to give something back to him. We painted his church, as well as some of our bodies, and finished building his new home. This required digging holes, putting up walls, and hauling stuff around. Not to mention, dropping cement blocks off the roof. Tonight we are just chilling at the base and getting ready for tomorrow which is our free day. It looks like a storm is coming in which will be a blessing since it's been in the 100s all week. God bless! Can't wait to tell you more when we see you.

Team Monterrey
