Working with mission team from Colorado

This week I've been working with a missions team from Colorado that is working in and around Puebla with orphanages and VBS style kids programs in small towns in the morning and afternoon and showing the Jesus film in small towns around Puebla in the evening. Its been fun getting to know the team and also a few more Christian leaders here in Puebla. I have been serving the teamy testimonies to various groups of people. It has been cool to have the opportunity to translate and reach out to people in small towns some of which still don't have a Christian church. Last night while we showed the Jesus film in the center of one of the little towns me and some of the guys from the team went and played soccer with 20 or so young people and then one guy shared his testimony and I translated and we invited them to pray with us and to come to a house church that is the first of its kind in that small town. We went this morning to a government run orphanage with over a hundred kids and shared the gospel message. I think I am discovering that I really enjoy working as a bridge between the two cultures and languages and hope that I can figure out a job some day that would let me do that. I hope all is well, just a note on the coolness of the 21st century that I am now in the habit of every night around 9 my time downloading that nights NBC nightly news podcast and watch the same news that is on tv in the US which is kinda cool and allows me to keep up with politics and the latest news. Much love to everyone and God bless.
