... and I'm ok with that. He's in Palomas, ministering to the children in the orphanage and the community. He just texted me a photo of the fiesta they are having today.
They served a meal to over 400 people, and saw about 25 people accept Christ today. It was such a blessing to see people from all over our community come together to minister to this town.
Last night they ate dinner with the kids in the orphanage. This is Carlos. He is one of the boys our home group put together a Christmas package for. Jerome is realizing that he's not in as good of shape as he thought. These kids are running circles around him!
This is our good buddy Ryan, the one who convinced Jerome to go. The little girl in his arms is Wendy. Wendy is about 4, and is just a sweetheart. Apparently the guys had to take turns holding her last night, as their arms got tired. She just wanted to be held. That's how many of the girls are - they crave the physical touch of love. They will sit for hours in your lap, just cuddling. The boys, they want to wrestle, play soccer, run around with you. The girls, they want to be held.
Please continue to pray for the team. Ryan, Jonathan, and Jerome are driving back tomorrow morning. The Mongdragon family is catching a ride to Juarez, where they are picking up another car, then driving home.
And, yes, it is snowing.
