Home

Well we are home. I myself was exhausted, so I napped when I got home. Our planes were on time and or early so that was a blessing.
I was going to update the followers on a few things, and add a few pics/videos.

Friday we had our last day of VBS. It was so hard to say goodbye to the kids knowing it could perhaps be the last time I'd see them. They didn't quite understand why we were crying, but some did. We hugged on as many as we could, and didn't want to let go of some.
There were 140 children at the church Friday, more than any they have ever had in the history Dios Es Amor Church. It was awesome seeing all the kids piled in there, so excited, dancing and singing their hearts out.

We went to Plateros Friday afternoon to see the idol the Santo Nino. It's a doll that these people worship, pray to, and believe that it heals them and blesses them. It's so sad, and a little scary to think these people's minds are so warped. We walked through the halls where people send pictures, letters, clothing, hair, x-rays, casts, shoes, etc. to the Santo Nino thanking him for all the miracles. We prayed for those people on the steps of their Cathedral, asking God to open their eyes and to bring that place down.

Friday night we had a good fellowship with Pablo's family. They brought us tamales and they gave us gifts they had got for us. It was nice just relaxing for a short period with them. Knowing you had to say goodbye to them was the hardest part. Those people have so much love for God and for the people of Zacatecas. Continue to pray for them. It doesn't matter if you know their name, just pray for the helpers and people that stay in Zacatecas year round, and the church of Dios Es Amor.

I'll make another blog with pics and videos after this one.
Thank you for all the prayers. We definitely felt them and experienced blessings because of the support. Can't wait to see all of you tomorrow night at the service. God will surely bless you by what you hear and see.

Dios Le Bendiga!
