1st Church meets Arriaga









What a great week! We had 11 people from our home church in Waco, TX fly all the way down to our home here in Arriaga, Chiapas, MEX. I think everyone ended up in a room with air conditioning and hopefully enough pillows! It was a week of work, work, work! The goal for the team was to complete the new addition of 4 bedrooms, a new bathroom and sitting area in the orphanage that has now become the home of 8 very excited little girls!!! I have to say, of all the teams we have witnessed working in Mexico I was very proud to be apart of this one... It seemed they never stopped and they left which EVERYTHING finished. The team painted (and cleaned up paint), laid flooring (and cleaned up paint), made curtains and pillows for each room (and cleaned up paint)! They were able to enjoy the company of the Spanish church on several occasions and really got the opportunity to see the best of Arriaga! It was one of the greatest weeks we've had here in Mexico! Thank you to all who came and worked, who stayed and prayed and who sacrificed to help send. So much was accomplished that will last a lifetime in the lives and hearts of these children here! It was an amazing team and a perfect Work and Witness Trip!
