We are on our missions trip! It has already been about a week. We have visited two cities and are going to 2 more places.
In Quimichis we prayed with a lady named Gregoria. Her son Fernando has schizophrenia.  She was telling us how hard it is to pay for medication from month to month she said it was 3,000 pesos which is about $300 a month. I have bipolar disorder and was able to give her some hope that her son can have a normal life. After this interaction I knew that God had put me here on this trip for a reason. I feel that God told me during that time that I was going to start an organization to raise money first for Fernando's medicine and hopefully branch out and buy medications for people in other countries that have mental illnesses.  Please pray that I can accomplish this desire.
 

The guys decided to set up a volley ball court because the pastor's daughter in Quimichis loves volley ball. Volleyball at the Coult's house has been a great way to bring people to the house. We are hoping that the family will be able to use this to bless others and spread the gospel.

There was a community church service held in Quimichis two nights in a row. I played the drums with Sarah, Fabian, Rebecca,Keala and Doug.  The service went well and I believe that many people were impacted.

This is a picture in the city of Celaya. In Celaya we had a short youth conference and I was able to share my testimony. 
There was a huge catholic church there and it was very obvious how prevalent Catholicism is in Celaya.  This is the catholic church it was interesting to see and really beautiful.
 
I can't wait to see what else God has in store. Please pray for safe travels and us to be able to share the gospel with many people. Our group is hosting a few youth conferences, a class on Jonah and a parenting class, so also pray for those classes to go well.
 
Thank you for all the support!

Well I haven't uploaded any pictures of my adventures so I thought I could use this blog post to do that.
 
 
 
This is is Keala,Rebecca, Evie and I making tamales. I know some people at home that will want me to make tamales :)
Had a fun evening for the little girls. Made pizza, watched movies, did nails and got to spend the night.

A Slumber party we did for the girlies. (from left to right: Denise,Alondra, Madie,and Eymie)
They are showing off their manicures.


Some other things going on:
We have been preparing for the trip down south and plan on leaving on the 14th of January and getting back on the 2nd of February. While there we are going to have youth conferences.

Jessee,Fabian and Jeremias went to the mountains to pass out Bibles which is a pretty dangerous thing and they are coming back this coming week so I am excited to hear their stories.

Thank You for the Love and Support!
