Day 3



Just going to make a short post about our crazy adventures and amazing experiences.
Yesterday Yohan and I (Matt) went to the Well do to some waterproofing painting for the roof. Unfortunately Josh and Danny had to stay behind and go to the cafe because we weren't allowed to have more than 2 guys in the Well at a time.
Unfortunately, today was our day to be left behind. However, we still made a day of it, cleaning Benny and Janice's kitchen and rooftop patio (which is a freaking 400 sq ft wildlife reserve complete with astro turf and a swing set. what the crazy.
We also got to go gallivanting around Mexico City to look for a casa de cambio, or a currency exchange place. We then took a ridiculously long nap and went out with Benny to the Cafe where we installed a projector (more like Benny installed a projector while we did nothing.)

The rest of the guys finished up the roof painting at the Well while the girls spent time with the people there and loved on them. (actually just ate ice cream. Is this a real mission trip?)

ANYWAY. I have been consistently feeling that we are on this trip to be a blessing to the people we encounter, and God has been showing me that He also intends to use this trip as a blessing to me. We've seen a bunch of amazing stuff happen even this early in the trip, and I'm really excited for what God has in store for us. On Friday, NEO will be hosting an event called Illuminarte, in which a bunch of not-necessarily-christian artists will be meeting at the cafe and playing music and making art. We decided that we wanted to focus this night around the word "Blessing," as a response to what God has been doing on our trip so far.

We are eagerly anticipating the places that God leads us and discovering how He can be a blessing to us as we bless those around us.

Also, this is another blessing:
Yes. Authentic Al Pastor Mexican Tacos with Pineapple.
Praise. The. Lord.
