Our First Youth Meeting

Last night we had our first youth meeting following our English camp. It was sort of a success. By that I mean we only received seven kids plus our missionary kids. Our first night was called Duct Tape Night and we did some games and activities that used the "handy man's secret weapon." One game included wrapping two kids in a garbage bag an tape (sticky side out) and two teams take cotton swabs and blow them out straws and try to hit the other team's "sticky kid." We played other games as well, did a craft and had a devotion that I did in my pitiful Spanish and finished with a snack of nachos and cheese. What was really cool was that after the youth event stopped we invited the parents in for coffee and cake. We had three sets of parents in our house and they stayed till quite late in the evening. The parent meeting lasted longer than the youth meeting...cool eh? I really got along with one dad that was interested in my aviation background and we discussed at length planes. Yet like all conversations I have with Mexicans it always leads to the question, "why are you here?" We let them know that in the absence of worship is mission. Doors are open here.
