Our team is in the groove. Today we all felt more familiar with the flow of the day, and it was great to see our strengths at play. Here are some snippets from me, (don't forget to read Marissa's post as well):
1. We are really tired after today’s great work. Please pray for God’s strength for us tomorrow.
2. Today’s community is certainly not at the same development level as Pedregal. This was really helpful to see. It was obvious based on the status of their community center, social services (or lack of) in their neighborhood, and even just the quality of bathrooms & sanitation available.
3. See www.worldvision.org/fronteranorte for the new website about World Vision’s North Borders Communities.
4. Families are important. We see it in the communities each day. I also see it in the Mexico 7. Each student is at a unique place in the adulthood process/transition. Thanks parents for your love and care for these students. You should be proud of these young adults.
5. Our Mexican friends really value introductions, personal stories, and even words from a pastor. I think this is pretty cool.
6. The drive from Tecate to Tijuana each day is on my top 10 most beautiful drives list. San Luis Obispo to Monterrey on the PCH is #1.
7. After working with hundreds of students for 4+ years, I realized on this trip that not one student (as in zero, 0%) is poor. It is great to work with the poor.
8. Thank you for funding my ministry to college students. I am confident the future Christian leaders of our world will serve the marginalized. I could not lead this trip without your partnership. Thanks!
