So the team is 3 weeks away from heading to Mexico! (The two week team is only 2 weeks away!) last weekend (Fathers day weekend) The team had a Rummage sale. We made about $1300 which is pretty good and we are getting close to having all our funds. We have about $4000 left for the whole team which is really, really, really good!!!!! This trip is really coming together.
Sunday we had our final meeting of just the teams before we leave. It was 4 hours long and we got a lot done. While we are down there we will be doing VBS (Vacation Bible School) with the neighbor hood kids. Each group is getting a different story we will teach the kids each day. My groupgot the story about Bartimaeus the Blind Bagger. Which if you arent familiar is about a blind guy who encountered Jesus and he healed him. We we will teach the kids the story then We will teach the kids the a memory verse which is Psalm 121:2 Which says:
Mi ayuda vendra del Senor, creador del cielo y de la tierra.
if you dont know spanish it is translated into My help comes from the Lord, creator of the sky and land. so we have some games to help them learn. It is going to be a great thing working with the kids and investing in them. So we have all this fun stuff. My goup consisits of our leaders: Kristin and Gregg... then the team: Me, Cory, Joey, John, Marissa, and Luke. This is going to be a great experience.
We almost have all of our stuff for this trip. We have our plane tickets, everyone has their passports, and we are getting our Vans this week. This is working out!!!
