I wasn’t going to share these photos or this little story but after writing Monday’s 5 Minute Message about the Lord being well pleased with those who share, I decided to make a short blog post and show you guys some photos of the orphans sharing with others.
There was recent flooding in the states of Tabasco and north Chiapas here in Mexico and we wanted to involve the orphans in helping out the affected children and families. (this flooding was basically about the equivalent to the flooding in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina…it has been about 3 weeks after the flooding and there are still about ½ million people affected). For three days, there was a food drive here in Teopisca and we took the children up to the market to buy beans, corn, and rice to take to the food drive. We gave two bags t0 each child and they took them to the food drive and had the women at the food drive explain to the children why it is necessary to help out those in need. The children, at least those that could understand, were very excited to help out others that were not as fortunate as them. It was a good day and one that I believe we can build on as we try to continue to teach them the ways of the LORD.
That is all for now...dont fall over at your computer because this update is so short...i will make up for it later :)
May the Lord bless you all today,
Lance and Sarita

That's so sweet. The kids look really cute! What a great way to teach them to serve others.
