Last night (ie. early this morning) I failed to mention something about the Mexico missions team presentation.
The team went to Mexico to work on the church building, teach VBS to the children, and do whatever other tasks needed to be done.
While there, the team met a family. It consisted of a mother, a father, a daughter, and five grandchildren. The daughter is around my age--21. She has five small children. Her father is a drug addict who prostitutes her for money to feed his addiction. The children are from different "clients."
Hearing this broke my heart.
A lot of people were focusing on the children, but the Lord broke my heart for the young mother.
I want to go to Mexico with the missions team next year, if only to meet that young mother and tell her, "Este es un homre. Se llamo Jesus. Te ama." Yes, that is what I will say. Then I will pray for her. I am already praying for her.
