I know, it took me awhile...

Here is a late Merry Christmas and a late Happy New Years to you all!

Mexico... ahh man, where to start. Physically, my body was broken but it was such a refreshing trip to see the familiar faces of friends in Ensenada. Here's a little picture run down of the happenings...

Gift wrapping process, packing candy included...

Assembly line...

Home sweet home

Japanese food, hilarious

What was even better though was having the taco stand come to us!

Welcome to the colonias, the poorer areas of Mexico...

We went to 4 different colonias and helped Francisco set up and run his Christmas program.

Each Christmas program started with singing...

 

There were even some christian clown skits

Did ya hear the bell?

Cause it is dinnertime!

Big pot of pezole... delicious!

Yum!

Pinata time!

The ring of chinos for our protection and theirs...

Because when the candy drops, it is a mad rush...

 

And of course...

...we always have a lot of fun just playing!

The program ended with gift giving...

... with the greatest gift being the sharing of the Gospel message!

Our team!

The biggest blessing for me was getting reconnected with amazing friends from Mexico. The hearts of the people of Ensenada, specifically of Francisco, Elva, Vasti and the rest of their family is of incredible encouragement to me of how a life led following Christ can be so refreshing and fulfilling. Keep the Camacho family in your prayers as they diligently live lives boldy for Christ in Ensenada!

From the words of Francisco, let us be blessings to others! Much love.
