Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters.
Hebrews 13:1
Our church hosted a marriage retreat in Acapulco and encouraged us to remember how important it is to invest in our relationship. It was a great time to reflect and share together.
While I was away in Ohio, Xaume stayed busy! He spoke at this youth conference about who we are in Christ: His light.
He also facilitated a training at a this church, located five minutes away from a women's prison. Translation: a really tough area.
Here's a video link of the kids saying, "This generation belongs to Jesus!"
Kids Video Link!
He also took two separate scouting trips for youth retreat sites. Here's one in the state of Puebla.
But I got to visit my lovely family, friends and church home in Ohio! Thank you for welcoming me back and blessing me so much during my stay!
Thank you Father God for this precious time!!! After a year in Mexico, I got to hang out with the family- including my sibs and niece and nephew :)
And thank you Heritage Christian Church for supporting us and lifting us in prayer regularly on Thursday mornings.
A special thank you to Heritage Kids- we were honored to be your missions project for the year.
Upon arrival in Mexico, Xaume and I got ready to leave for Leon, Guanajuato (Five hours north).
We were invited by a church called Tree of Life to conduct the kids outreaches for the week.
A team from Kansas City came down for a missions trip, so we got to work with them and the local churches.
For most of the Americans, it was their first trip out of the States, so it was really fun to share about Mexico with them.
In total we went to six different sites and did a values lesson on respect with the kids. After ministering to the kids, the USA team presented their skit and we shared the gospel with the adults.
The worship band from Tree of Life would then close the evening with a concert of Christian music.
Most areas were receptive, but we did encounter some push-back from community leaders at one site. Thankfully, they finally gave us permission to proceed with the event.
At each site we partnered with a local Christian church and invited the attendees who wanted to know more to come to services.
It was a tiring week, yes, but we were thrilled to be able to sow into these lives.
Pray with us for these children and their families to be set free from religion and to embrace the relationship available in Christ Jesus.
Thanks for reading this and encouraging us. Please pray for us this weekend as we will be speaking at a youth retreat and as we prepare for more later in July.
Love,
Xau and Anna

It doesn't matter where we're ministering. Love is the key factor.

There were other neighborhoods in which people blatantly refused the invitation, but we believe that the seeds planted will grow!
