Grace Covenant Mission Trip Journal

What a wonderful day. The guys started their day an hour early because they forgot to set back their clocks. The smart got girls got enough sleep. Today we had 51 children at the orphanage for our first day of VBS. We have all fallen in love with these young children ages from 4-17. The young ones are so sweet and beautiful and the older ones are so excited to have us. We began to paint the chapel at the orphanage yellow or you could say amarillo since we are in Mexico. The youth are bonding well with each other and already we have witnessed so much personal growth. We are enjoying the Mexican food and the wonderful culture. Tonight we took a trip to the OXXO a mexican version of a 7/11. Tomorrow we will have our second day of VBS and continue to paint the chapel. Between our dramas, puppet skits, spanish worship, crafts and games we know the children here are being impacted greatly. It is already hard to leave the orphange just for the night the children cling to us but we ensure them we will be back Hasta Manana (see you tomorrow). We can already report one healing. Praise be to God may be he glorified in everything we do. We will report back tomorrow night.
