"Mission trip to Mexico...
Spreading the Word, come on let's go
On a mission trip to Mexico...
And if I may say so
This salvation is totally free
It won't even cost you a peso..."
(a song by b.o.b.)*
This weekend will be a wild transition for me. Lord willing, I'll have finished the Sep/Oct issue by Friday, including proofing and approving all the 88 pages for this one. Then we will fly to Saltillo, Mexico on Sunday for a weeklong missions trip with our family. I'm excited. Here's some of the things we'll find ourselves doing: During the week we will be working all over Saltillo -- from the Children's home to a clinic in a soup kitchen. Here are some of the things going on while we are there: Youth meeting Sunday night, ladies ministry at Saltillo International Church (ladies only ... I wonder if I dressed up in drag like those Bud Lite girls...? Nah.) Monday and Tuesday, construction at the children's home, painting at christian clinic, medical evangelism... at clinic; medical, dental, hygiene, vacation Bible school etc at a soup kitchen, construction/remodeling at Saltillo International Church, ETC... Charlotta, who's a nurse, will probably find some cool medical stuff to do.
This is exciting.
* I know the secret identity of the B.O.B. band that did that "Mission Trip To Mexico" ska song. I'm not telling, though.
You mean those folks in B.O.B. weren't really all named Bob, Robert, Roberto, Roberta, Bobby, etc? I'm shocked! Haha. I let some peeps from a church borrow my B.O.B. CD when they were doing a Mission Trip to Mexico recruitment, then ... they lost it. SAD FACE! I still blast my Christmas one during the holidays, though.
Anyway, have a good time on your trip...I pray God blessed your time there!
