We went to Laredo, Texas which is a border town of the United States and Mexico. If you go any farther north on 35 you have to go through border point check so a lot of people live in Laredo and it is not that wealthy of a city. They ministry we went through used to go into Mexico to do work but now they have to stay on this side of the border due to all the crime in Mexico right now which is sad cause they need a lot of work over there.
So went to this church that is one big room and they wanted to add another room for the kids and we built a wall and put in a room for them. We also painted a good part of the church. That is where I stepped in. We went down on Friday and came back Sunday so it was a quick one.
On Sunday we did church service with them and I bought a lot of crafts to do with the kids. They really enjoyed it and so did I. The service was in Spanish so I was not understanding it anyway.
All in all it was a great time. We made some friendships that was really neat. We will do more for sure. This ministry goes to Panama City and I really want to do that one. They used to have to live in a jungle but now they stay in the city and go to the jungle for a few days!! Sounds so cool to me. The only down fall is now Brady does not work for his Dad that time off is bit harder now:(
So neat to see so many different walks of lives that on fire for Jesus!!!
