The Wrap Up of The Day

Well, we weren't able to see the parade, but it was a good day!
We went to church and had a good service. There were a lot more people there that aren't a part of the orphanage. Most of the church is made up of the kids, but there are adults that come that are a part of the community. It was nice to see them interact and be such a part of the service.
After church we went to Zacatecas to sight-see and to go to Walmart/Sam's. We weren't able to see the parade, La Bufa, or Pablo and his family. It saddens me to know I wasn't able to see the people of Dios es Amor, But I do know there is a reason for that.

All of us are safe and happy. The kids are doing good. I wanted to share a verse that God laid on my heart last night during the worship service.
I flipped to Isaiah and came across this..

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, "Here am I, Send me!"
After that verse it goes on to tell what they should say to the people..

That verse reminds me of the song "Until The Whole World Hears" by Casting Crowns.
"Until the whole world hears, Lord we are calling out.
Lifting up your name for all to hear the sound"

That's how we should all be in our everyday lives. It shouldn't take a mission trip for us to be sent. God can send us down the street, next door to a neighbor, or to our own family in our house.
I feel so unworthy at times coming on these trips, because I feel like there are so many more people who seem to have such a stronger walk with God than I do. BUT then I see how this is such a growing process. I can see it in the people here who haven't ever been and in the people who come every year.
God can change you if you let him.

We love you all and continue to pray for us. Tomorrow morning we get up and are going to the children's home at 8:00 am. We are going to be painting, doing construction work, and anything they want us to do.

Love you all.
