Vision Trip with Jessie
Jessie came down last week for a 4 day vision trip to see the orphanage project and to see if this is something God is calling her to do. It was a great time to really connect with her and share with her all that we have learned/experienced over this past year here in Guadalajara. We talked until 1am in the morning sharing experiences, stories, and struggles. She knew the first night that this is what she wanted to do. All of her questions and concerns were answered the first day! We are so excited for her to come back down soon!
Trip to the Zoo with Ministerios de Amor
This past week (Spring Break) we were invited to go with the orphanage Ministerios de Amor to the Guadalajara Zoo! We broke up into groups and led the kids around the whole zoo. It was a blast! I took a group of 4 boys around with me, Jonathan (12), Hugo (11), Mario (8), and Juan (8). It was a great experience for us to learn how to organize outings with the kids and how to divide into groups and plan lunch/ travel/ etc.

We have been giving Bible Studies with the younger boys at Ministerios de Amor for a month or two now and we have been learning so much and have gained so much experience in how to teach and instruct children. We are planning on taking out the 3 boys who have behaved/participated the best out to pizza and to movies. So we have been keeping track of behavior, participation, attitude, etc. Check out some of the photos below:

I really feel that this month we are starting a new stage in our ministry down here in that we are finally starting on our own project. We are looking more towards our orphanage plans, designs, organization, etc. Also, sometime this year we are looking to take a 1 month internship trip to the orphanage we visited in Aguascalientes (Dulce Refugio). During this time we will live with the girls in the orphanage and see what daily life looks like at this orphanage. We will also do a more in depth training with the director in office related tasks. We are so excited for what God has in store for us.
Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support that allows me to serve here in Guadalajara. I could not be here without your sacrifice. Thank you.
