Juarez Crossing the Boarder

This morning we attended worship at Trinity 1st UMC in downtown El Paso. We had an amazing time, and the people were soo nice. We had a chance to meet one of the former b-ball players of Texas Western Basketball team who beat U of Kentucky for the national championship in 1963 0r 66. This is depicted in a newly released movie "Glory Road". He was a nice man, tall, and mentioned that Coach Haskins widow comes to service every Sunday.

After lunch we made our way to Mexico, it was a 3 minute broader crossing. The Rio Grande is just a small reservoir between the US and Mexico.

We are hear, a little tired, but enjoyed a COKE in glass - pure cane sugar.

The poverty is heavy, and we will be encountering some very poor areas tomorrow.

God is moving in many of our hearts. We even got in a neighborhood game of street soccer.

We are so thankful for safe and uneventful travel. Keep us in our prayers!

Hi Everyone,.
I hope you (especially the youth) take note of what you see there and say a thank you prayer for all you are blessed with! Go and make a differance in those people's life, even if it's just making them smile.

Can't wait to hear more.
