Naco Mission Trip Day 2

My apologies for the late post. It is morning of our third day, and we are beginning to get up and prepare for our second day into Mexico.

Yesterday was by all accounts amazing, for a few different reasons. God answered a major prayer request with a passport issue. By God's grace and mercy, we have gotten it worked out, and our whole team got to go into Mexico (and come back) without issues.

Secondly, the rain. That's right, rain. In the desert. In July. It's actually something like monsoon season out here. And it POURS the rain, as often as it wants, and it wants to pour everywhere. Yesterday it rained all over the place, except the two villages we were at! At the second village we finished up and drove to the main road a few hundred yards away to find that it had rained so hard it had washed debris out onto the road and covered the road up with standing water. Yet barely a drop had fallen in the village.

The children were amazing at the villages of Cautahmec and Zaragoza (which I destroyed the spelling of). These children have already touched our hearts and we have such a burden to see God move and work in their lives. Please pray as we return to be Christ to them, loving them unconditionally. We sang with them, played games, and taught some Bible to them. We return to do it all over again today, in about 30 minutes actually.

Finally we have had some of the most moving and authentic times of prayer and worship together. Each night we gather together and have a devotional time. Each person leads it one night, and speak whatever is on their heart. Sunday night we ended up having worship for around an hour. Last night we each took time and genuinely prayed for each other. These times have been so sweet our to souls. God is alive and he is moving here in Naco. Please continue to pray for us, as we have far to go before this trip is through, and we cannot wait to see all God has in store.
