Actions Not Words

As most of you guys know I am more then completely in love with the country Mexico.  In March of this year I got the opportunity to go down to Hermosillo, Mexico for a week with my Youth group.  We did construction work at the orphanage which is called Casa Esperanza Para Ninos which translated is "Home Of Hope For Kids"  we got up at 5:45am, got dressed, ate breakfast, did devotionals, & were off to do construction by 6:30am,  we worked till noon came back to the hotel, showered & off to VBS we went after VBS we went back to the orphanage to worship with all of the kids!  Best week of my life, never once did I complain when we got up at 5:45.  When getting up that early the only thing on your mind was how you were going to go bless someone!  Best feeling in the world!  Oh and VBS (Vacation Bible School)  was probably one of my most favorite parts!  Although the language barrier made it slightly hard to communicate, it also taught all of us a wonderful lesson.  Instead of using our words to show how much we loved and cared about them,  we had to use actions.  Which I found awesome!   The kids were so easy to love on,  they had such an innocence about them.  They loved so easily even though to them we sounded funny!  They inspired me, & I am now in the process of learning Spanish so that I can communicate with the kids & care takers! :)  

So here's the thing, the end of October I am planning to back down to Mexico, on a shorter trip.  I will only be gone for 3 or 4 days.  The cost is $120, I have $60 saved and am in need of $60 more.  I don't have a job (But I do have an interview for a nanning job on Thursday!) so I really have no way of getting the rest of the money I need.   So I'm wondering if anyone would help me get to Mexico in October?  I know most of you are adopting & I know how expensive that is, so if you could even just pray that God gives me the money I need it would be appreciated.   

I will leave you with a photo of just 3 of the 30 kiddos that stole my heart in March.  (From Left to Right) Juan Carlos, Kimberly, Lupita :) 



There is a Chip-In button on the right hand side of the blog where you can donate if you feel led.  Thank you in advanced.  I'm so thankful for you guys :)
