Grace Covenant Mission Trip Journal

Last Night we did not have access to the internet so we apologize for the delay. Yesterday was our third day of VBS at the orphanage. The team has connected with the children and it has been amazing to watch everyones interactions. Everyone is learning more Spanish and the children are happy to see us improve. We think it is entertaining for them. At VBS we spoke on the truth that Gods Word is True. It has been great to hear members of the team share devotionals and tell us of their own personal time in the Word. Everyone is so focused on the Lord and the task and calling set before us. The weather here has been beautiful and seriously could not be any better. After VBS we went to the Mercado (Market) and did some shopping. We are encouraging each other by doing something called Secret Angles and secretly surprising each other with gifts and encouraging notes. It was nice to see the team purchase little gifts for their secret angles. Last night we went into downtown SLP and we shopping and toured the Plazas in the historic downtown. It was beautiful and fun to get out and see the city. We ate out for the first time last night and everyone enjoyed the food. Jim and Lisa are so wonderful with the team and the locals here. It has been an honor to see them here and work alongside them here. We were able to rest this morning and sleep in a little before church. Today we will go to Church and then afterwards we will go to Guadalupe Victoria which is a pueblo about an hour outside the city of SLP. There we will have a VBS and give out clothes to the men, women and children. It is going to be a wonderful day. Thank you so much for your prayers for us.
