Right now, the five of us (Rebecca, Rebekah, Rachel, Annie, and April) are sitting in the covered courtyard at Casa Hogar reminiscing about the past three days. We met last Monday in Atlanta, and arrived in Acapulco on Friday after a few days of training in North Carolina. We are thankful for safe travel despite the craziness that is the airport of Mexico City. The kids were waiting for us at the gate to welcome us in. Our first night was a whirlwind of names and Spanish.
Saturday, the English teacher intern showed us around the city and told us which buses to take. We had our first authentic Mexican meal and experienced Walmart, Mexican style!
Sunday, we enjoyed worshiping in Spanish and English at Jesus de Nazaret Iglesia (Church) along with everyone from Casa Hogar and the first short-term team of the summer.
Today, while the kids were at school, Rebekah, Annie, and April helped the team with construction at Casa Hogar, tearing down more of the old building in preparation for a new boy's dormitory. Meanwhile, Rebecca and Rachel went to Sobre el Puente, the street children's ministry here in Acapulco, to help them organize from the recent move to a new building. Thank you all for your prayers and support, and thank God for giving us this opportunity to work with the church here in Acapulco. Please continue to pray for us as we strive to break the language barrier and build relationships with the people here.
