Sunday in Colima

Team Two, Day One

Today was our first full day as a team, it started out with our second Spring Forward for the year, yes we lost another hour of sleep! 

We attended church and loved the worship today, it really drew you in.  The majority of us do not speak, or sing, Spanish but many of the songs are the worship songs we know only the words are in Spanish and you could feel the heart of the worship.  The message seemed very intense, the congregation was very quiet and non-responsive at times, and the Pastor seemed very serious.  When we were back at the hotel tonight discussing our day, one of our team members that is fluent in Spanish shared with us his notes from the message.  It was a very intense message, calling us to live our faith, and specifically the men of the congregation.

After church we took a group of 11 boys from the Adoloscentes home, and 11 girls from the Senorita's House, and one of the young ladies who was raised in the Orphanage and continues to live there helping with the children. We went up into the country to Monte Real restaurant, for a wonderful Carne Asada lunch!  We enjoyed this time with these kids so much.

After returning to the Orphanage, Stephan took some of our new team members on a short tour of the different homes and gave a history of the homes. 

We finished the day off with a party with the caregivers and kids of Casa Famoso and Casa Golondrina's.  We were treated to some home made tamales made by the Papa of the Famoso house, Antonio.  They were some of the best tamales our group had ever had and his home made salsa should be bottled and shipped home! Muy Caliente!!

Please pray for health and safety for our team as we start our projects tomorrow!
