Wednesday's Update

Another fantastic day today!

After a wonderful breakfast, team worship time, and a quick bus ride to the soccer field, todays events began to take place. Again we had about 75 kids show up, with some parents attending with them. We played all sorts of games, painted their faces, and read stories to them. All of the kid are engaging, well behaved, and grateful for us being there; taking time to lay with them and just love on them in ways they don't get normally.  It's really cool to see the kids learning english so that they can impress us by speaking our language. Some of them pick it up fast and do very well.

We also sent teams out in to the neighborhood meeting the families, sharing the gospel, and inviting them to the weeks events. We are usually greeted warmly by the people in the neighborhoods, and sometimes invited in for more conversations. It has been extremely moving to hear some of their struggles and stories of how they got where they are. We have been changed by experiencing  these times with the people.

After todays activities, we all attended a Wednesday night church service, where our own Tyler Wilson preached the sermon for the night. He did a fantastic job of explaining why knowing the Gospel of Christ is so important for us believers. It appears that he will have a very successful career in teaching the bible after he graduated from DTS.

Overall, we are amazed at witnessing how God is moving in the hearts of the people of El Capulin, as well as our own. We cannot wait to come back and share more of what we experienced.
