Our time in Chimalhuacan was more of a blessing than we could have asked for. Because of the lack of internet
We definitely had a blast teaching timbrels, dance, choir, and most importantly teaching them about the armor of God. Also, each team member has officially memorized Ephesians 6:11 and all the pieces of the armor in Spanish. As we aimed to teach the kids new things, we learned a lot along the way.
For dinner each night we would meet at the home of Majors Rivera, who are the officers of Corps Number One. During those times we would debrief and enjoy the fellowship with each other. We shared lots of laughter!
To close our time in Chimalhuacan, we held a small service in the afternoon on the last day where we encouraged the kids to invite their parents. That evening we had 47 people in attendance, including soldiers of Corps Number One and the Divisional Commander. Makayla had the opportunity to preach about salvation, and our hearts were filled with so much joy when eight kids and two parents accepted Jesus as their Savior. Many of the kids had never owned a Bible, so we made sure to give each kid and parent one to take home.
This coming week we will be on staff for the Divisional Music Camp. Each team member will be teaching either band, choir, timbrels, or dance, and we are also planning the Gala Night and Pool Party. We are so excited to see some of the kids from the Children’s Home we visited in week two and meet new friends!
