Viva la Mexico!! After 16 hours and 3 bus transfers, team Clay and Banah arrived in Pelenque, Mexico. We were relieved to find our housing contact waiting for us. Unfortunately we were not as lucky with ministry. We were unable to get a hold of our contact. And so, we have spent the last few days listening to the Lord and finding places to serve. We have preached at a few churches, a rehab center, and a prison. We have also done some ground work at the Bible Institute where we have been staying. We are looking forward to teaching Bible studies and children programs in nearby villages next week.
But before we get ourselves ready for village ministry, it´s time to party. July 14th was a special day for team Clay. Not just one, but two birthdays.
Happy Birthday Melissa and Tomina!!
We celebrated in the sun at Agua Azul.
After dinner we celebrated in true Mexican style. We had a piñata! And true to World Race style, we were to cheap to buy one. So, Lindsey and I made one out of a fan box and napkins-it´s a sun!
The fan box was very strong. We got tired…Melissa broke out the machete.
Finally, the piñata was broken and the candy eaten.
We all went to bed full of sugar and happy. It was a day full of surprises (41 emails) and fun. Thank you for all the birthday wishes. I had an absolutely fun and memorable birthday.
