A mission update from Laura Jean

This trip has truly shown me the love of the Lord. Our first morning in worship with the people of Cuernavaca was like no other. Each person you greet kisses you on the cheek, and when we introduced ourselves they clapped for us. They were so thrilled that we were there. Their worship was loud and filled with excitement. The worship gave me what some of the girls and i like to call “holy spirit bumps”, or chill bumps. You know the chills you get when you sing in church and you can truly feel the Lord’s presence?... that is what i have felt this entire trip, and its only been 2 days into it. Today we went to a nursing home and met and sang with the people there. Later, we visited the pyramids, you could just feel the pain that was once there. So, the youth group sang “We are standing on Holy Ground” there and the wind started blowing like crazy. You can ask any person that was there and they would tell you that they knew the holy spirit was blowing the wind through us!! We went to the market afterwards and bought fruit for the orphanage we will be working in tomorrow. It was a beautiful place. There was fruit, flowers, candy, toys, clothes, and people EVERYWHERE! I have fallen in love with Cuernavaca, the people here, and the culture. I think the reason it has been so wonderful is because the Lord has been walking with us side by side every second of the way. He is such a LOVING and GIVING God. Praise God for giving us the opportunity to work with Doug and Sandy, the AIM missionaries, and the people of Cuernavaca. He is one GREAT God!!
