Puebo to Pueblo

These have been the most challeging days for us on our outreach because we went from ministering to Guadalajara, which is one of the wealthiest cities in Mexico, to now in Chiapas which is one of the poorest. Besides the bugs and bathroom, or lack of bathrooms, it is amazing. We are surronded by such a beautiful scenery with everywhere you look being green and rivers and lakes being blue to green. I must admit that I am actually enjoying the bathing in the river part although I am not much of a fan of having to do my laundry by hand in it. It has been a blessing being here becuase the people in these communities are the most hospitable and hubmle people I have met here. I would venture to say that the Mexican people are the warming loving people one will ever meet on this planet. They greet you with open arms and offer everything they have even if it is not much to fill your belly and make sure that you feel at home. A pastor/missionary named Jose Cano who has been working in Chiapas for ten years is leading us throughout different Pueblos for 14 days. We put on a service and minister to the people every pueblo we go to. On Saturday we are heading out to the jungle to dispense food, clothing, and share God´s word with the lacandones. These are tribes people who live in huts made of suger cane and leaves called palapas. It is a little dangerous for us becasue we will be camping in the village with some risks of being visited by scorpians and snakes. Please pray for safety and healing with some illnesses falling on the team and that the love of Christ would be seen to the indigoenous people. I should also report that all 7 girls on my team are doing incredible under these conditions and I am not going crazy, but am very impressed by their flexibility and willingness in all this. I can not believe we leave back to Mazatlan in 10 days! I should be back in Texas in a litte over a month and God has given me some amazing vision for the next season of my life.
