Grace Covenant Mission Trip Journal

It was another wonderful day here in San Luis Potosi. Our second day of VBS went perfectly. Today we had about 40 children at the orphanage for VBS. Many of the children were in the same clothes they were wearing yesterday. Their hearts are so beautiful and the love so freely (a term that is being used around here often). Transformation is happening in the orphange spiritually and physically. We finished the first coat of yellow paint in the chapel today. We will finish on Monday with a second coat. Each team member has become a professional painter and everyone is working hard. The team is growing so strong in relationship with each other. It will be a bond that will last. Jim and Lisa have been amazing to us and we are so greatful for them and the impact they have made here in SLP. Our translators are becoming our best friends. Today many of the children in the orphanage gave many team members a Spanish lesson and in return we taught them some English. Tomorrow will be our third day of VBS and in the evening we will take a trip into downtown SLP. Our God is a great God. We thank Him for his goodness, grace and mercy to us. May God bless the loving people of San Luis Potosi.
