Mexico Part II

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.

               Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is in-jury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

 

 

Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers, creator of the changes

of the day and night, giving rest to weary, renewing

the strength of those who are spent, bestowing

upon us occations of song in the evening.

As you have protected us in the day

that is past, so be with us inthe coming night;

keep us from every sn, every evil, and every fear;

for you are our light and salvation, and the strength

of out life. To you be glory for endless ages.

Amen

Mexico Part I

Landing in Oaxaca on the 12th of December, it finally hit me... I'm in Mexico!! Some bags were lost, we were up for 18 hours and it started to get dark fast, but we were on our way to the Mission to serve God and what would be the start to the most amazing experience of our lives. I would have never guessed how much this experience would really effect me.

This is the bus that we learned to love!! We had some great adventures, conversations, and moments that just make you go, aaaaaa.

We started off our trip with dinner at the local restaurant, and a good nights sleep, and a trip to the ruins in Monte Alban the next morning.

The first of many moments with Florenzio!!

The view of the mountains from the mission.

Our first day of work.. pulling weeds, playing with the little kids, doing dishes, cleaning the fountain, working in the kitchen and other fun stuff!!
But often times, we found time to play soccer with the kids!!

Keeping Track

Here is the web address for our blog for the MEXICO MISSIONS TRIP!!
