February Fun

The weekend family "mission trip" to Oaxaca was fun.  While it was a bit of work getting suitcases together, etc., it was definitely worth it. 

I wanted the kids to have the experience of getting out of their context and being part of our work. I did have my doubts of  about the 6+ hour car ride - especially the two hours of mountain curves.  

That part was really the only down side, and despite some discomfort for Kai, Liam and Xau, we made it through :)

Twist Kids' Club

Liam's favorite part of the trip was his "new room" or "hotel" as he called the bunk bed he and Kai shared.  Another one of their highlights was getting to ride in the back of the pick-up truck to get kids from the neighborhood for Twist on Saturday.

Pastor Braulio and his prayer-warrrior mother. Liam was captivated listening to her speak Mazateco, the regional dialect (I think the only Spanish word she ever said was "eat.")   Braulio learned Spanish when he moved to Mexico City years ago. He now makes the trip every two weeks, taking the Word back to his hometown.  

Other happenings from the month: We manned a stand at a kids' ministry expo.  Though it wasn't well attended, we could get the word out to a few interested children's leaders :)

The Twist manuals are slowly getting out! Dear friends Pastors Lalo and Ale (right), Luis and Gaby (left) are to start Twist at their church in April.
