His Children

As 7 of us headed down to Mexico last week all I could think of was of seeing my kidos at the orphanage again. I have not seen them in a couple of month because of the busy craziness of my life lately. I have been going to this orphanage for over 7 years. The first orphanage called El faro in Tijuana, Mexico is where we spent the first night. It was an amazing time just loving on the kids and doing devotionals with them.  The best part for me was sleeping over with the girls in their dorm and getting tickled to death (they found out my secret).

As we headed out the next morning to go to the tecate orphanage for boys I was a little sad we had to leave the other orphanage so soon, but I was ready to see some of my boys that I have not seen for a while. They are actualy part of the other orphanage in Tijauana, but they had to separate the guys from the other orphanage because of problems of having them together with the girls. As you know being a teen can get a little crazy. However, as we got there there was only half a roof in their home and no windows and doors. They were also limited of food. Our bathroom was a whole in the ground. It made me realize how privileged I am.

Beside the circumstances they did not complain! We worshiped with them. Loved them and had the best time of our lives! God really used us to bring comfort and joy! Also a revival in may of their lives. It was so beautiful. We also got up at 5am to worship with the kids and watch the sunset (don't tell anyone I gave them candy too). It was a beautiful night with them and the Lord.

Most of these kids don't have stable relationships and it would be nice to have people commit to going down every week or every 2 weeks. Love is what they need the most. Also there is so much needs in materials to build and food needs. They also need help in paying the electricity, mortgage on the property, etc... There is so much need!
