Wednesday in Mexico - Rain!

The weather changed a bit today ... This mornings update from Matt:
Hey guys, thanks for praying for us. We had a great day yesterday. This morning I was able to really encourage our youth for the way they worked yesterday. We got a lot done...especially for the first day. Usually there is a learning curve day one but yesterday was more like a day three or four. Our youth have great attitudes and are serving with joy. So far they have been nothing but impressive. Ally continues to do a great job with VBS. Yesterday went very well. ... Chris Porter lead group devos this morning and did a great job. Neil lead us in worship. It is actually cool here (75 last night!) We got some rain too. Today is going to get up to 83! The rest of the week has a high of 85! Dean said it never goes below 100 this time of year. The rain hatched a batch of mosquito's so pray that we don't get too bit. Thanks for your prayers, Matt
From Don this evening...
The rain has been pouring down all day with flash floods. Dean thinks this is the most rain they have had in a year. The Internet has been down most of the day so more pictures will come later.

One of the boys on the ranch was very seriously hurt on the playground and was taken into Juarez to be treated - one of the boys who lives at Rancho 3M, not one of our youth. Please keep him in your prayers.
Work was stopped today - Please pray for the weather to clear and the waters to subside so that the work can continue.

We are praying for you all in Mexico ~ ~ ~ "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:58 ~ ~ ~ AMEN!!!!
