Missionary Trip in Rancho Nuevo Mexico

My favorite favorite girl in Mexico, Laura! Even though we really could not speak to each other because of our language barriers we bonded.
The little girls received tutu's and got to dance at mass, they were so cute

This little one would not stop tickling my legs one evening during the service so I just had to play with her for the rest of the night.

Inside the village church at Rancho Nuevo, they always try to do a mass while the missonary's are there.

Spin the wheel for the children, they loved winning prizes especially the bubbles!

Helping Veronica at the spin the wheel both, this was the last night at the village

Narci the clown, played the kids and made balloon animals

This was once one of Dan's shirts now going to good use

I helped with arts and crafts for the three day VBS.

As you can tell our classroom was whereever we could find with shade

Narci, Candice (dulce) my name in spanish and Clare perparing crafts for the children

Armfull of toys for the little girl

these are stands all along the highway, people live off the highway in little huts and live in poverty

The highway people, this was a amazing experience people started running towards us because they knew we had supplies, it was amazing how desperate everyone was
