Day 4 - Boys to Tijuana, Girls to Paint

This morning roles reversed and the boys went to Tijuana to feed the poor and the girls went to the construction site and painted ceilings and the outdoor walls.







The boys had a great experience in Tijuana and Caleb even joined in the fun for a bit.  The guys spoke about the program as such an eye opener of what a sacrifice for Jesus really looks like.  These VOLUNTEERS get up every morning at 3:30am to prepare breakfast for over 250 people.  And they don't stop there; when school rolls around, there is a lunch program plus ESL classes and much more.  These volunteers have no names or faces and yet they continually give to the poor and do what God has called them to do.



It was really nice to spend some time worshipping and praying for the family as we painted and spend the morning just us girls!


After lunch, we met up for our summer camps with the Casa De Luz kids.  Makaaela and I headed up the dance classes while the boys and Madisen headed out to play some soccer with the boys.

Dance was especially fun as we brought some skirts to share with the kids thanks to Abbi and Sadie as well as Jazz-ma-Tazz!  Each girl lit up when they got to choose a skirt to wear for the ballet class.  They were all smiles dancing across the floor as their teachers cheered them on.  So fun!

The rest of the team had fun making dough animals with the kids that they will paint tomorrow, then finished the day off with hat decorating and bracelet making.

Mike and Riley got invited to a Mexican League soccer game this evening and the rest of the team is hanging out in the living room, having some much needed and well-deserved down time.
