2010 Mexico Mission Team – Tuesday Report

Posted: June 15, 2010 in Uncategorized

We’re working with Operation Serve International (http://www.osinews.org/), a ministry that Legacy has been a part of for many years.  6 people from Legacy made this year’s trip. We were joined on Saturday by 30 people (mainly teens) and a couple and their grandson, all from North Dakota. 

Sunday we spent the day in orientation and training. We also took the time to go and get some shopping done.

Monday we went to a neighborhood near one of Mexico City’s garbage dumps. We were able to serve many people. I’ve been assigned to work in the optical area where we access people’s needs and help fit them with glasses. We were able to help 50 people with glasses and prayed with a bunch.

Today we were in the midst of a garbage dump called “Neza.” There are about 500 families that work there. Many of them also live there. Their job is to pick through the rubbish and find things that can be sold. It was just as moving of an experience as when I was here 4 years ago.

I’ll have to share more thoughts later……Time for dinner. :)
