Hi everyone. If you have not heard yet, we made it safely to Sabinas Hidalgo! Besides an hour delay in DFW, there were no problems! God blessed us with a quick and easy crossing of the border! We arrived at the orphanage at about 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday and went to bed! We sleep out on the sidewalk/patio area, because it is too hot! Yesterday the high was 115 degrees and just because it is dry heat doesn't mean it isn't hot!!!
We met all the kids first thing Wednesday morning. Even though we can not speak Spanish much, we are able to communicate in other ways. The kids love to play with us and even though we can´t talk to them, they love to sit next to us or they will just come up and give us a hug. As I type several of the team members are out painting the new dormitory and the others are painting the meal building.
We had our first VBS last night, it went well... definitely a challenge to participate in leading that many kids when we can´t really understand them and they can´t understand us. I think the big hit was Pato Pato Ganzo (Duck Duck gray duck).
Please continue praying for out team. We want to be used by God to make a difference here in Mexico!
I can't seem to upload more pictures right now... I will try to post more pictures soon!!
