A Week With The Mt Calvary Team

We just finished a crazy week with the team from Mt Calvary Church! We were a little disappointed that we couldn’t spend more time with them (one of Hannah’s school projects ended up taking over!), but we enjoyed the time we had.Soccer Champs - June 2016

Last Saturday was the soccer tournament. In spite of some trouble (again) with the permits (which apparently was not our fault), it went ahead. Here’s the winning team – from the church in Jesús María, no less! Jonathan, second from the left, did a great job sharing his testimony during the day.

On Sunday the team shared in the service, even doing a song in Spanish. In the afternoon, they led an event for the youth of the church.

The Pacman Team (Jr High Rally)

The team members joined various classes, and Hannah and Nathanael even got to join in. Shari and I helped out at a couple of the stations. The team helped in many ways, including their presentation of a skit.

On Tuesday and Wednesday there were various service project and outreaches – a youth girls and adult women event at the church (but with many people from the community who don’t attend our church), painting at a rehab centre, putting together wheelchairs, clean up and community improvements, and so on.

Thursday was a day of site-seeing and souvenir shopping downtown.

On Friday we had a big wheelchair/hearing aid event in the city of Chalco. Many people in need were given wheelchairs and hearing aids, as well as Bibles. They also heard a clear gospel presentation from Mayra Fry!

Last night there was a goodbye party for the team at the church, and this morning(?) at just before 5am we said goodbye as the team headed to the airport.

We were blessed to have Maddy and Katelyn stay in our home for the week as well!

Yes, a big week! But a good one. Thanks for your prayers!
