Hello from Bronte

Hi. This is Bronte again. Today I, along with the Truitts, Armstrongs, and my dad, went to the Reynosa BIC Church, where we painted window guards and put legs on the pews. The church was in a very poor neighborhood. When we came, kids kept coming into the church. We gave them some little toys, (little balls, small plastic dolls, etc), but they kept wantig more and more. The kids didn´t speak English, so it was diffucult to communicate with them. Before we left, we prayed with the pastor and his nephew Edgar. It was weird to see such a small church there are about 80 adults and 70 kids in attendence.
A lot of the kids have been very tired... we do a lot of work, then get to bed late... hungry... the meals are on a very different schedule then we are used to... and some have been suffering from asthma/allergy related issues. Please be praying for us as we are in a new environment, and are experiencing many new things.
It´s been a lot of fun interacting with the kids at the Home. They all have very different personalities... some are full of energy, some are more relaxed, some are talkitive, others are quiet. It can be difficult to communicate with them because we don´t know a whole lot of Spanish, but they definatly know how to have fun. One of my favorite activities is playing soccer, because kids of all different levels of skill are playing together and having fun. We are learning a lot about the Mexican culture.
It´s great to know that so many people are praying for us. I can´t wait to share our experiences with family and friends back home.
Thanks for all your prayers,
Bronte
