Whoa, today has been an exciting day! Today didn't start as planned, but we are on God's mission trip, he isn't on ours. We were suppose to go to the orphanage, but at this time of year the children go and stay with families. God had a reason for us to stay, the water filters! So we started working on the filters. God has really set up a plan for those filters. What once started out as a dream, has now become reality, through God. Its crazy how things are working out. After we did that for a couple of hours we were ready to go to the city. So we all piled into the van and drove to the city! The first place we went to was a bank, we all exchanged our money for Mexican money. We then drove to a random house and went in. In the house we all went to a back room , and there was a jewelery shop! It was full of silver and stuff. It was really strange because it was in a house. After spending a while in the house/shop we left to the market place. At the maket place people try to speak to you and you don't know what they are saying. Everything costs less, and Mexican music makes you want to dance. Pretty much you can get anything cheaper then the price it says. People on the team bought things like rings, shoes, rabit feet, braclets, head bans and such. After looking at spanish buildings and table shops we went out to eat. We drove to some place that had mexican food. I had a steak while other people had tacos and quasdillas. Over all the day was really fun. Read some more tomorrow to see what we are doing next. Thank you. Bye!
Pray requestes and praises:
Chico is doing better.
Please pray for Monty and Ann's back.
