Sunset Ventures to León

Last week the youth group from The Sunset Church of Christ in Lubbock, Texas, came to spend a week here in León to do some mission work. God really blessed us with their visit. I spent the week as a sort of translator and city guide for the group and did my best to help them out any way that I could. They brought down a lot of energy with them and some willing hearts so that made it that much better for us. I am really glad that I got to lead them around and get to know them better. We stayed a lot in the center of town giving out 'abrazos gratis' or 'free hugs', singing songs, passing out flyers for church, and putting on some plays. It was really great to get to talk to people about church and meet a few people that I will try and follow up on. We went to one of the orphanage's to put on a VBS and had a work day as well up at the church building to clean, rearrange, and paint. It was a great week and I think some of the kids are a lot more interested in foreign missions now. Praise God!



This is me reading kids the story of Jesus telling the Apostles to cast their nets on the other side of the boat. It was one of the stations at the VBS.








A picture of us giving out 'free hugs' in el Centro! Great Times!









We caused such a scene we had a few different articles in different newspapers from Leon! The title here says 'Regalan Abrazos!' which means 'They give hugs!' We are famous!!!













After one of the plays in el centro the Youth Minister gave a quick message to the people who were watching and I translated!
