How in the world can I recap all that has happened these past 8 weeks of summer? The Lord has been so good and so faithful! Here at B2B we like to ask our missions guests each night during debriefing what is their "picture of the day," or a particular moment that stood out to them that they would like to always remember. Tonight I am posting for you some of our "pictures of the summer" (in both the literal and non-literal sense!). I hope this gives you a real glimpse of what the Lord has been up to this summer and how privileged we have been to play a part in it. Enjoy!
 |
| First group of the summer prays over the construction of the new children's home "DREAMS" for Manantial de Amor. |
 |
| I was privileged to have 2 brothers visit for the whole month of June and lend many a helping hand at MDA. |
 |
| To the zoo! One of the many field trips we were able to take the MDA kids on this summer. |
 |
| Enjoyed having my dear friend Anna come to serve week 2 of the summer! Luis enjoyed her company too :) |
 |
| Cheque was blessed to have my brother Jon help out around MDA. What a blessing to have family so close this summer. |
 |
| We loved seeing MDA's new caregivers in their element. Jose and Lorena have added so much to MDA in just the few months they have been working there. Jose has blessed the home with his skills as a carpenter and an artist. Here is the new entertainment center me finished for the boys with the help of good friend from Oxford, Jason Bantz. |
 |
| Who can beat slip-n-slide on a hot day! The kids enjoy hanging out with the Crosslife group during week three. |
 |
| DREAMS continues to progress. Week 3 and the first floor walls are nearly up! |
 |
| My awesome man showing strengths in so many ways this summer. Here he is reviewing the plans for DREAMS. |

| Loved having mom with me as I lived my daily life in Monterrey. She got to celebrate with me and Ady when Ady got her braces finally taken off! |
 |
| Fun days in the sun (and big slides!!!)! |
 |
| Trip to the pools week 4! |

 |
| Melanie offers her talents as a hair stylist to spruce up the kids summer do's! (Week 6) |
 |
| DREAMS continues to grow! Week 7 brings the walls even higher and a sidewalk around the building. |
 |
