Well, we are starting on our second week in Mexico and hoping for even greater blessings! After some downtime this weekend, team Chosen is ready for ministry these next three days. We visited a childrens. home Saturday, had a great time getting buckets poured on us, and new nicknames (ducks). Our guys got rocked in soccer games, but we rep'd for Jesus.
Sunday we split into groups and visited the marketplace, with all the unique stands in Matamoros. We visited a church service at night. That was definitly an experience, The people were very welcoming and charasmatic, and with a bit of help our team performed our "Drime" presentation "Into the Light."
On a side note; back at the gateway we found a snake climbing a tree. There was a debate as to what kind of snake it was after the freaking out was over. The giant toad outside the boys dorm may meet our new snake friend. The bugs in the shower are becoming a little less bloodthirsty, either that…or we have just adapted to them being there.
All creatures aside we look forward to this coming week!
In a candid interview one team member was asked, "What do you hope for the most this week?" In response she said, "Caffeine! Definitely Caffeine!" With that and prayer we'll have a successful closing week to our mission trip.

Good to hear from someone. Thanks Ms Amy. Prayers and love to everyone. Watch out for snakes, frogs and shower critters. Tell sweet Britney we miss her and look forward to seeing her home.
Enjoyed the bugs and rugs blog entry. Tell the author, very nicely written. 🙂
Sounds like you guys are really making a difference there and having an impact on the people there you meet.
I’m loving hearing the news. If someone on the team sees this, give Britney B a big ole hug from her church mama!
How wonderful to hear from you. Hope the end of your trip is wonderful. I’m so glad you went. See you soon. I’ll have a chocolate cake waiting for you.
Way to go. I love Mexico and really enjoyed the work we did there with the missions.
Kaylyn is trying to get tied up with our old friends Dick and Ann Dye to go back and help out. I need to get you two tied up.
No one’s mentioned that hurricane heading straight for you; what’s the plan with that? How are the people of Mexico planning for that? How can we pray for them and for you? Are there shelters for the people living there? I know this isn’t suppose to be a big hurricane but a big storm can pack a lot of damage especially if the shelter you have isn’t that strong. Let us know how we can pray and offer support.
It was awesome! We had lots of fun 🙂 and thanks all of you for your prayers and support.
