Kids' Outing!

Paco and I took my Sunday School class out on a special outing- as an opportunity to further shine the love of Christ into their lives.  The event was a huge blessing for the kids, and for us!

 

We drove into Tlaxcala City an hour away (10 kids packed into the car with us) for a Christian children’s show.  Unfortunately, the planned event was a bore, and had the kids squirming in their seats.  To save the trip, Paco and I left the show and took the kids to a nearby park, where we played games and took silly pictures. 

Quite a few of the children in our group come from poverty and unhealthy family situations.  During the outing, one of the boys even tried to steal Paco’s cell phone (probably something he has seen his parents do).  However, they all responded to our love

for them, each vying to take our hands or sit beside us. 

The Lord gave Paco and I strength with so many kids (even after losing one for a few minutes, being covered in vomit, urine, and drool by the end of the evening, and set-backs like the boring show and

closed highways coming home).  May the Lord continue to reveal Himself to these children!!
