God’s Working in Mexico

Three days into the trip already! The time has gone by so fast. We are almost done with both the house and the soup

Drywall is fun

kitchen. Everyone have been coming back very dirty from all the hard work, and are excited they have almost completed their goal for the week. Today we were excited to learned that at V.B.S.  18 kids accepted Christ! The dental team has worked non-stop, working even past dinner. They have seen 40-50 patients a day, and hope that continues to finish the week at about 200 patients for the week. We have had minor incidents here and there but they could have gone way worse. God is truly watching over us and blessing us. One phrase that has been used over and over by the staff here at YUGO and by our team and other teams here is “God will do something amazing tomorrow”. So far He has yet to let us down. Whether it’s how united the teams are, extra help coming at just the right time, or being able to appreciate His handy work, He has truly been amazing.  The people are so nice and the scenery is breath taking. We are surrounded by mountains on 3 sides of us, and on the 4th side is a beautiful beach.

Today YUGO had a local taco shack “cater” dinner. They were the best tacos many of us had ever eaten. Although a Mexican meal has not been the norm. We have had fettuccine alfredo, cheeseburgers, American bacon and eggs, and other meals that we would have at home.

David Carrick Delivering a message of Hope at the church service

Wednesday evening we went to Pastor Teo’s church for their Wednesday night service. Once again God showed us unity by combining both Mexican and American voices to worship him. The service was “Muy bueno”! We have one more day of work to finish up the house and the soup kitchen tomorrow.  We are having a welcome home celebration at the house, to welcome the family. Friday we will dedicate the soup kitchen  and the church workers that will work in the soup kitchen. Friday we are also going to La Buforda . It is a tourist attraction and another beautiful part of Mexico. It is the world’s second tallest blow hole ( where the ocean hits a part of a cliff that is hallowed out with a hole on top that water shoots out). There is also many markets and souvenir shops around in that area.

One of the things that has become our nightly tradition has been our late night runs to Wal-Mart. People have needed supplies and different items to continue their outreach. No one has been sick yet, which has been a blessing. We are all so blessed to be apart of this trip and experience. Many of the teens and kids have been playing soccer with a couple of the local kids after the work days. They have been setting up a field in the middle of the street that YUGO is located on. They watch out for cars and have fun. It’s been fun watching them interact with each other. They have so much fun, it seems at times, like they’ve known each other for years. God has truly been here and blessed this place and the work we have done. It’s so inspiring to see what He can do when we just give it all to him and let him work. Truly,” God is good all the time.”
