"Praise the Kord, all nations; Laud Him, all peoples! For His lovingkindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord is everlasting, Praise the Lord!" Psalm 117
Can you believe we only have 6 more days here in Mexico City? I can't!! Today, our second Sunday here was a day filled with fellowship and blessings from the Lord! We woke up this morning and got ready for church, and once there went to Rosie's kids class which Luisa led this week... Then came fellowship time (and a tamale shared by some of us on the team!) before Luis' sermon and worship time in song!
After church, the team headed out to a restaurant in a nearby hotel-- buffet style!! :) We ate (and ate and ate-- that's just how things are in Mexico :) ) and someone brought up a team outing to go see Wall-E... So we did! :) It was so fun to see that movie with the Contreras' and some of the team and their "families"-- we all enjoyed the time together and the movie too! :)
We got home about 2 hours ago, and had some dinner Robin made for us (as Sarah says-- "She's amazing!") and played with the kids before heading off to bed!
Praise the Lord for his goodness and kindness to us-- (as those Psalms say)-- He has blessed us and provided for us in more ways than I could possibly write here...To be able to be here is an incredible gift- but more than that, to be able to know the perfectly sinless Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, who died as payment for my sin (I deserve that penalty!) and rose again in victory over death and over sin itself, is a gift that can not be compared to any other!
Tomorrow starts another busy week-- of painting and other projects here at the Contreras home, and the Youth Conference this week every night from 6:30-9:30 PM! Pray for our continued health (and Wendy's restored health--she has a cold! :( ) and for the energy and strength and wisdom we need for the conference ahead!
Have a great night/day/whenever you read this! I hope all is well in the states :)
Que Dios les bendiga

Wow! What a privilege you have to be there. Reading your posts are an encouragement to me. Especially your comments about how gracious God is to us and how that is a very clear display of His love towards me. Thank you for that. Still looking forward to the Wrights being with the Hamis and hearing your stories firsthand.
Ciao. (I think that is Italian)
Hasta Luego (Is that spanish?)
Katie-
Thanks so much for the updates on your trip. Sorry the computer broke on you. I can't wait to see pictures. And I know you'll have a mexican glow when you get back like you did last year. :)
Come back safely to us on Sunday! Love you much,
Janea
