Connor Southerton's first few days in mexico

Only Monday, Wow. It's only Monday and already God has changed my life in so many ways. I've already found a little buddy who is an awesome little boy and I wish we had more time together.  Tonight (Tuesday) at the teen outreach I gave my testimony and I was extremely nervous, but when I got up there God just gave me the words to say and with Melissa's help I feel like God really worked through us to benefit the teenage kids.  I can't wait for the rest of the week to see what God has planned for us.  Please continue to pray for us and the church we are working at.

God Bless

Back in Mexico

Hello to my church family and any one who might reed this I am Adam and I am in Mexico!

I always forget how much fun it is here and how much I get from it. Laughing and learning with Robin, playing cards with Pat, putting my hand on my head (facepalm) at everything that Geoff says, and seeing all that God is doing in Mexico! This year i am with a great encouraging team with lost of first timers. We are doing good but the powers of darkness are present in the form of confusion, misunderstandings, sickness, losing or forgetting things, and exhaustion or laziness it is hard sometimes to tell the difference. But with all this going on at the end of the day or the next morning i can see all that God is doing. Keep praying for us as we take on the challenges of each new day because we are not going to make it without God. thank you Dios le bendiga (God bless you)

PS Notice that Guns and Drugs are not on the list of problems.

Mexico Work Day Two.

                     Started the morning off with some breakfast and worship... Then we're off to the work site. Adam and I dug a nice little hole, it was only 12X12 ft hole for the bano... It is very humbling when the people with so little buy and surprise you with something they love and enjoy so much, a coke. While Adam and I continued to dig the hole our new amigos (friends), went down to the store and bought us coke. I never thought I would think of a coke as such an act of love... So later Adam and I went down to the same store to repay our new friends with the same gift they gave us... They we're very thankful to get the cokes from us... I have found a new love for the people here, the kids are adorable, the people are so friendly, and the food oh the food it is delicious. I have had alot of fun so far talking to the people in Spanish!
