Mexico

Our annual trip to Mexico was another success! We left Thursday morning and I found a snack pack idea that I decided to try for the kids. It worked pretty well and kept them satisfied for most of the ride.  They also got snacks at the ranch and refilled it as the weekend went on. I highly recommend this idea for those traveling long hours!!

We had a ton of youth going so we were able to claim a youth van.  The time hanging out and bonding during the drive are some of the best times!

The first thing the kids wanted to do was swim! There were a ton of kids the boys' ages so that was perfect and anytime we were at the ranch that's what they were all doing. 

Every morning we would start with worship and quiet time before we went out into the towns. One day the kids went around to all the adults and asked what miracles they wanted to see and wrote it in their journals. It was so cute! 

In the towns we would hand out food, give out eye glasses, play with the kids and pray for the people. 

Kobys and Troy are awesome at jump rope!

In the down time when we were not in the towns we had plenty of fun! We enjoyed ice cream at the park, dinner at the mayor of Morales's house where we swam and ate and danced, we enjoyed the animals at the ranch and just got to visit with everyone! 

There is no place like Mexico! We are coming back refreshed and refueled with all the things we saw God accomplish through us! It's crazy that language was never an issue; love was the common bond and it's all we needed!
