Visit to Juarez Mexico

Today we got the chance to visit the mission base that Crystal lived at the summer of 2001 and more importantly, we got a chance to spend sometime with the kids at their after school program. It was an awesome blessing to spend time with them. They treated us to some great food, kicked my butt in soccer, beat Crystal in checkers, and all around made us laugh to no end. It was difficult seeing their surrounding environment, but encouraging to see the Godly people the Lord has put in their lives to minister to them on a daily basis. They didn't stop smiling the whole time and it shows in some of the pictures we got while we were there.





This picture is a great group shot that has something hidden within it that you might not catch at first glance. Check out the picture below it to see what I mean.


Please note the unsuspecting look on my face as I mentally exclaim "Cheese!" just seconds before getting absolutely pelted in the head with a huge balloon. This silent assassin made me realize that you are never truly safe when posing for a group photo. I am forever indebted to him for this harsh, yet effective lesson.


Tomorrow we are heading to White Sands National Monument to do some sand sledding. Should be interesting, so be looking out for some new pictures soon.
