And so begins another day

We have much to do today, but it starts with breakfast. We begin our work project to and then we are going to play like 5 year olds! Actually we have worked hard every day and have been playing like 5 year olds all along.
This has been a great trip a this team has amazed me everyday. I wish each of you could watch this group in action.
I'll try to get the kids to blog some today and give you their story.

bed time

Its bed time here at the city. Another great day and looking forward to see what God has in store for us tomorrow!!!

God has blessed our day!

God never fails. He has blessed our day and really it's only about half over. Today we sarted out with a great breakfast... Again... And then we loaded the two benevolence vans and drove straight to the "Smart and Final" the name of the grocery store here in Ensenada. We loaded up food for about 20 familys and drove to El Zorillo Mexico. We met Brother Franko at his Church, The Church of Christ of El Zorillo. Ask about Bro. Franko when we get back he is an amazing man and can hug like no one i have ever met. We then bagan our benevolence trip that turned out to be better than we could have expected. We took food for 20 family's but I happen to know we made hundreds of people happy. It was the best day of benevolence in the 6 trips I have made. We have some great pictures to show you when we get back! When we returned to the city we all got recharged by playing with the kids again. Right now our chefs are in the kitchen, Mrs. Torrez is desigining our wall and the crafts director Mrs. shelton has her team working on tonights crafts.
We have VBS after dinner and then more play time.
Gottha go for now, I'm pretty sure I have a job to do.
Keep praying it's really working!

Sunday is always an amazing day at the City of Children

We started our day with a wonderful breakfast and Church led by the Mexican Preacher. We haven't stopped since then. We've been very busy. We took a tour of the City from 10:30 to noon, we then made lunch for the babies.. so precious.
Then we had a really fun relay race with the teens. We prepared dinner for the young girls. Another sucess. I wish some of you parents were here with us to your teens to witness how truely amazing they are. We did VBS tonight and put on a little skit... Academy award winning. After VBS we made cards for benevolence and played. Right now it's 9:55 and we are working on crafts and benevolence items for tomorrow. We are all very tired buts it is a great feeling. All the groups we bring are special but this group has come together like no other. You would all be very proud.
We love you all!!!!

Full day

We just finished our day. It has been amazing. We had Pizza with the teens from the City and then we played the "trash can game". It was amazingly fun. Parents buy your kids a trash can for Christmas and I'll send you the rules. One condition; you have to play with your kids. It's 8:30 here and 10:30 where you are. We are headed to bed.
Good Night to all. We love you guys!!!!!
