Grace Like Rain

Grace... there is so much to God's amazing grace.

This last week I saw grace

in the smiles of thirty little mexican girls who were getting a day of princess treatment...

in the joy of a pastor handing a family a key to their new house...

in the eyes of a mother who saw a solid roof going on her house...

in the tears of a woman who saw the child she gave up in the child sitting on her lap...

in the lives of a group of people forever changed.

God's grace abounds.

We just have to look for it.

One Semester of Spanish Love Song

Ok, this video is just hystarical. Don't worry, even Jeremy can speak more Spanish than this!

Time moves too fast...

Well the summer season is about half over for us. There have been moments that touched my heart and made me cry, and other times where I just wanted to pull out my hair from frustration. But within all of this organized chaos, God has been working and it is awesome to see!

One week here is over before you know it, but seems to last a lifetime. Building relationships with the teams, serving them and the mexican people around us, and then boom, they're gone and we're starting over again. But in that week you make friendships that can last you a lifetime.

We've been so busy, we've been neglecting our blog, so sorry you haven't heard from us in a while! It's hard to be able to pull out of this world and update those outside of it. Unless you've been here, you wouldn't understand how quickly time flies. But we do miss you all. I've started a personal campaign to get my family to plan a trip down here. Feel free to come anytime! We miss seeing people that we have relationships built up over more than a week. :)

Before we know it, the summer will be over, the interns will be gone :(, and the camp will be quiet for a couple months. I'm trying to savor the moments, and remember why we get so bored when there are no campers. Although we do get more sleep when they aren't here...

Pray for us as we keep serving and growing. God keeps pushing us out of our comfort zones, which is good but sometimes painful! And I'm serious about that visiting thing... give us a call. Or send us a real, honest-to-goodness paper letter, that's pretty exciting too!

Love you all.
