This is Bethany typing and Nicole is sitting shotgun. Dad's in the backseat. We had all these grand ideas about what we would write and now we are all drawing a blank. ;)) But let me start by saying we are missionaries to Puebla, Mexico. I am 18 and Nicole is 16 and we are the designated bloggers.
Well, this past Thursday the Lee Wilson family arrived in Mexico. They are a wonderful family. Nicole and I especially enjoyed hanging out with Cassia Wilson.
Friday we had a back to school service for the youth of Pastor Glenn Wakefield's (my Grampa) and Pastor Curtis Wakefield's church. About 20 of my kids from Sunday school, the youth from my Grampa's church, and adults from both churches came. We were packed out!! Bro. Wilson preached that the youth should not use the excuse "I'm just a child". We should live for God in our youth instead of putting it off until we are 'grown'. The kids really prayed in the altar. It was so exciting to see!
Saturday was Ladies' Retreat at Elder Wakefield's church, then on Sunday Bro. Wilson preached again there.
This is Cassia singing at the youth service. She did so wonderful, she has a beautiful voice. To top it off, she sang in Spanish! What a blessing!
Nicole and I praying with the kids at the altar.
Maribel, Jazmin, and Alejandra praying.
This is Nicole praying with cute little Daniella. She has dimples and makes the cutest faces when she prays. It's SO cute!
This is Nicole holding a chile-cooked grasshopper that Bro. Wilson bought as a joke. The people really eat them...
...and you guys aren't going to believe this, but I'm not joking...SHE ATE IT!!!!!! She says it tastes like ketchup mixed with black coffee. (GROSS!) But...yay for her, she picked one without legs...the feel of legs going down your throat is (believe me) not very pleasant.
Cassia spent the night with us on Friday. This is me (Bethany), Cassia, and Nicole walking down the street from our house to the main road to catch a bus to get a taxi to go to the Ladies' Retreat on the other side of Puebla. (How's that for a run on sentence?)So we had a SUPER busy, but fun weekend.
Thank you so much to the Wilsons for coming to Puebla and blessing us with your ministry! We appreciated it and so did the churches.
Cheers for our first post!!
