Today (Tuesday) is our third full day in Mexico. The weather is beautiful: sunny and dry. We plan on heading to the local park to watch Juan’s son Jesse practice soccer. He is quite good, and Juan tells us that pro teams are looking at him.
Earlier today three new girls (sisters) came to live at the home, bringing the total number of children up to 27. The amazing thing at Mexican Mountain Mission is how well behaved the children are and how well organized things are. This morning Doug overheard the ladies making a grocery list that took about 40 minutes to compile. Can you imagine grocery shopping for that many people? On market days, Juan has to bring the pick up and go to the farmer’s market that has loads of fresh fruits and vegetables. It takes some time and effort to get all that is needed to feed 27+ hungry mouths.
Thinking of the three new sisters that have come, I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to adjust to living in a new place with new rules. Moreover, it has to be tough on a child to not have her parents here to love and guide her. Of course, this is why Mexican Mountain Mission is so important for the children of San Luis Potosi. Here they will be loved, well fed, cared for and pointed to God. In the end, for the 27 children living at the home, Mexican Mountain Mission is just the right thing at the right time. Meeting real needs with God’s love is the heart and soul of this mission.
Please, continue to pray for Doug and me as we have some important mission issues to deal with that will help the home grow stronger in the years ahead.
In Him,
Daren |
