Thursday in Baja!

 

A few words the kids had to say about today: "exciting," "impactful," and "memorable."   Being our last full day in Baja, many of the team went into today with a renewed purpose and desire to really make today count! From the beginning to the end, most of the students worked hard, served hard, and played hard ;)

This morning we had one more chance to be a blessing serving around the base in jobs like chopping veggies in the kitchen, sorting clothes in the donation center, weeding a grown over area by the staff mobile homes, and cleaning windows for other staff. 

After lunch, we had a little chance to rest and hang out with each other and some of the kids down here before going out on another Child Evangelism Outreach. Once again, we split up in three groups and ventured out to three different parts of the community to hold a quick missionary club. The students were 

able to help round up the children from each place, play with the kids to get them excited for what was to come, help them listen to a Bible story and try to learn a verse from a teacher, and then help hand out spoonfuls of peanut butter and cups of milk. Most if not all of the students would say these outreaches were one of their favorite times of the week. Getting to love and serve these little ones while encouraging them to learn about Jesus and His love for them was such an immense blessing and joy!

Since tonight was our last night here, we went out for tacos once again to our favorite place, Tacos El Poblano! We have built up quite a relationship with those who work there, and we were able to to develop those even further, well enjoying some great 

food at the same time! After a lot of tacos and a lot of pictures, we headed back to base where we were able to have a special hangout with the older boys who live here from House Seven.

The kids were able to circle around a fire pit, sing worship, and share with each other back and forth with the help of Señor Brache. It was a special time of celebrating the friendships that have grown during our time here and celebrating what God has done, is doing, and will continue to do!

Thank you for your prayers for us! It will be hard tomorrow to say goodbye and to leave this wonderful place where God is doing so much!
