Today we entered into Mexico with determination. We really wanted to dedicate the house even with the threat of rain, and knew God was pushing us to share Jesus Christ with the family and present the opportunity to accept him as their savior. Well, it did rain. After the vans getting stuck in the mud this morning and having to walk a while (everyone is fine), we ventured back out this afternoon to do the dedication! Sure enough- it started raining as soon as we began. We knew it needed to happen today so we huddled under the porch, and sent the vehicles back to the house knowing we would have to walk back in rain and slippery mud. I am so glad we did because two family members began a new life today with Christ at the end of the dedication: Blanca (mother) and Angel (son). This family not only has a new house, but new brothers and sisters in Christ. Then, we made the mile trek down railroad tracks and in the mud, a few of us falling down, and all of us feeling more blessed that ever to have been able to literally walk in their shoes. We can't wait to spend the day tomorrow. It will be hard for the group to leave, but I feel certain they will come back!
Dios te Bendiga
