Due to the lack of time, I´ll just quickly write what's been rocking here in the DF:
Today, Pastor Ismael (the awesome dude that's been planning or schedule and stuff) took us to see the President of Naucalpan. Naucalpan is bordering south of Huixquilucan so it was pretty cool to come out of our region into a more built up environment. Our area really is a mix of country/urban scapes. Oh, and the colony we`re at is called Canteras and the city centre of Huixquilucan is half an hour away. It´s similiar to ours, but busier. The rich area of Huixquilucan is called the Residental Zone where everyone looks like a rock star.
Anyways, so we met the President and other congressmen which was such an honour. She asked us to sing for everyone in that room which was a little frightening but cool. It´s just cos we thought that we were gonna spend the day prayer walking and worshipping publicly so I lugged my guitar with me. So we sang `God of this City`which is pretty much our theme song now cos the churches love it and it's an awesome song too.
So that was pretty much our day. Rocked up to the Residential Zone and did more walking and praying and singing in public again which was fun.
On monday we're going to the centre of the city to do some fun stuff like visit the markets, do some sight seeing and learn more about Mexican history and culture. Can't wait!
Erm, what else have we done?..we've done work with 3 churches so far- teaching them, praying for them, and just showing them how to love their community cos there is no point saying we love God if we don't prove it by the things we do. Faith in Action! woot. So yeah, im learning a lot. Learning to speak more spanish, learning to be more confident in teaching (it's pretty cool how our team are made up of young ppl and we're just teaching ppl way older than us), and getting a greater heart for missions and people. I'm really encouraged and touched when the people we've worked with really value is and it makes me want to stay with them and keep building relationships, but because of time strains, we can't. At least we're building foundations for the next teams coming in after us.
Alright, i'm out.
Awesome fluff: mariachi bands, jelly, sunshine instead of predicted heavy rain and more tacos! Oh, and mexican christians becoming excited to reach out to their community!
Not so awesome fluff:jen and sven (team mates) aren´t feeling well, so pray for us!
