The theme word I chose for ABC Wednesday is NOTIONS.
I believe a NUMBER of people have the NOTION that teens spend
their Spring Break partying and just goofing around.
NOT so with the fabulous kids from our church.
Mexico over Spring Break proved differently.
The pictures I am posting show the reason over 800 of us went to
our NEIGHBORS to the South of us.
Beautiful, NEEDY people received much NEEDED food and supplies
to continue to live.
The NINOS touched our hearts and we wanted to help every one of them.
This family is taking ownership of their NEW home built by one of our
construction teams.
The local Pastors chose who would be getting a home this time.
Our teams were able to build 6 homes in 5 days, plus 2 school rooms
and various repairs were done on some of the Pastors homes too.
Here are our homes for the days we were in Mexico.
NEEDLESS to say it isn't the Hilton, but it was adequate for us.
Be sure to enlarge all the photos to see the detail.
Here is part of our fabuous Food Team, slicing and dicing to feed the
hungry troops when they returned from their day's work.
I may NOT be NIMBLE NEXT year,
but I won't say NO to helping feed the teams again.
Some of the photos were taken by our team photographer and others
were taken by me .

Just heartwarming, and marvelous. How I love your Mission Trips.
That first picture is priceless!
Wonderful and touching pictures,. I cannot believe how much you got built so very quickly!!! Well, as they say, many hands make light work! And what wonderful hands they are!!!
what a blessing to these people and that is a lot of volunteers and a lot of houses built. a wonderful way to spend spring break by giving others a much need break in life. i can't understand why our govt pokes its nose in all the countries over seas and does nothing to help our next door neighbors in cuba, haiti and mexico. no wonder they flee across the borders.
What a wonderful way to share and enrich...
Yes, every summer our church kids do a building mission. Yay!

What a wonderful way for the teens to spend their spring break. I know the memories they made will mean so much more than other ways they could have spent the break. Great work you all did. Carver, ABC Wednesday Team

God bless you for doing good to others.
Hope you can come by and see my NooK, thanks!

Moving images Sue.
What a wonderful way to spend Spring Break. I didn't realize it was such a large and well organized group. As for being as nimble next year I just say, do it while you can! My fibromyalgia has limited much of my exertion options since I retired, but thankfully I have found many other things I can do for the Lord. I have 20-25 a week in my Bible Study and that is such a blessing to me-- as well as to them I hope!
"N"ice work!
Smiles on faces truly warms my heart. Praising God for the work of missionary's. I thoroughly enjoyed my stop at your blog and I'm looking forward to reading many more of your posts. I'd like to invite you to be my friend ッ and follow each other. Keep growing and glowing for God! May the Lord bless you richly. ✿KC
