Day 4 & 5
Sorry I couldn't post yesterday but here is a recap of what happened with the San Isidro and Campo Real teams in the past two days..
I spent Monday with the San Isidro team and they really had an awesome day. They put on a kids camp complete with paper machete and fun songs. There were about 25 kids in attendance and they totally loved every second of the club time. Then we had a delicious meal with some of the people from the Casa de Paz church. After lunch, some of the team practiced the songs that they would perform at the outdoor evangelism concert. The concert went really well and once the band started playing, people started to trickle in to see what the deal was with all the "gringos".
Today, I spent some time with the Campo Real team who is offering English lessons near their host homes. About 9 kids showed up today and even more come out of their houses when the team started up a game of soccer. We had lunch and then headed downtown to do some shopping and touristy things.
That is about all I can update for now. The days are long so it's time to get to bed. I'll try to post some more pictures tomorrow!
Thank you you for your continuous prayer support!

Day 3: Sunday Church Service in San Isidro
Today was our final day of orientation and training. Everyone has moved into their host homes and tomorrow will be our first day at the ministry sites.
This morning, I was able to go to a church called Casa de Paz in San Isidro with the open-air evangelism team. One of their big projects for the week is hosting a concert on Monday night that will be held near the church.
Here are a couple pictures from the church service today...
I will be joining a different ministry team each day to document their day. Tomorrow, I will be joining the San Isidro team for their concert. So from now on, each blog entry will be an update from a specific ministry team. I'm excited to get the chance to see what is happening at all the different sites! Please continue to pray for each of the teams. Thank you for your support and prayer.
P.S. Weston and Faythe would like to make a shout-out to their mothers!

Day 2: Orientation cont.
Here are some more pictures from this afternoon. Each ministry site team worked on organizing and getting ready for their ministry projects.
Day 2: Orientation
Hola! Today was our first full day of training and we had more worship, prayer, and teaching time. Angela Livingston and the worship team have done an incredible job leading us.
We heard from Trever Godard, 20-year MBMSI missionary, this morning and he spoke to us about our theme verse for the week, Isaiah 52:7. And Joan Godard, Trever's wife and fellow 20-year MBMSI missionary, helped us to understand the Mexican culture a little better.
We lifejournaled with our ministry teams...
And got to hang out and enjoy the warm, Mexico sun.
Please continue to pray for us. We will head out to our ministry sites and host homes tomorrow. Everyone is excited to get out and serve as well as practice our spanish!

Day 1: Leadership Training
We spent the morning and afternoon preparing for the remainder of the Soar participants to arrive. Four groups came in today from Oregon (Oregon is pronounced Or-uh-gun by the Americans and Or-uh-gone by the Canadians. We are having a couple disagreements on how certain words are pronounced:)), Utah, California, and Canada. We are officially ready to begin the week now that everyone is here.
I would say that I, as the photographer, get the best end of the deal on this trip. I am blessed to be able to go to each ministry site to document what is happening and hear stories from all over the city. So each post will hopefully give you a glimpse into what is happening at each site.
We have enjoyed a lot of time in worship and prayer today as well as getting to know one another. Here are a few photos...
This is Stacy Kuhns. She is currently serving in Guadalajara on the MBMSI Jornada program.
This is Sandra Plett. She is an MBMSI long-term missionary in Guadalajara.
The woman in pink is Jen Schmidt. She is also a long-term MBMSI missionary serving in Guadalajara.
RETO is the name of the church where many of us are serving. A sports camp for kids will be held here next week
Buenos noches!
