We took a school trip across the border today into Reynosa MEX and spent the day at our new favorite place to be... Josiah and Bethany's Children's Home! It's an orphanage that is housing about 50 children right now and every year the kids there get involved in helping out others in their community by giving out bags of food and toys during the Holiday's. So our job was to get those bags ready for the kids to give out. We sacked over a 1,000 ziplock bags full of rice and beans and prepared sacks of clothes to give out to several hundred families! I'm not kidding, it was a ton of blessings... but most of all I think we were all blessed just to be apart of it!
