Sunday was a great day. We spent some time in the market where the students got a chance to barter for the prices. We then met with the Pastor whose name happens to be Jesus. The church is being built right now and doesn't have a roof so we had to meet in his house. He shared his testimony and we sang songs and enjoyed some great food.
It has been non-stop rain since we have arrived in Mexico. Today we woke up to rain showers which has caused a lot of flooding throughout Matamoros. We were unable to go into our colonia (neighborhood) because the roads are flooded and transportation would be difficult let alone dangerous. We had to improvise a little so our group headed to a huge super market where we stood outside and made balloon animals, ushered people to and from their cars with umbrellas, and passed out fresh water to people.
Every night we have our group meeting where we brag on each other about things we saw other doing that we were inspired by. During the meeting we had an amazing sharing time where we looked each teen in the eye and reminded them how loved they were and that God reminds them to be strong and courageous in the Lord and that he is with them.
I am continually asking God what he wants to do in us and through us here and trusting that in spite of the rain God has a great plan.
Lord willing we will minister in the colonia tomorrow
Grace and Peace
