Last day at Los Mochis!

So, today is my last day at Los Mochis! I have met some new people and have made new friends! I have been blessed to see their ministry at work in complete reliance on the Lord and to see kids be blessed by what God is doing in their lives. It's funny how God tugs at your heart in His direction and to see these kids, these people, this ministry, I just feel so honored to have gotten this experience. These people have quickly become people who I hold dear in my heart in the short amount of time that I've gotten to know them. There is a different bond that you have when you're working alongside your sister or brother in Christ. I can't quite explain the feeling except that it's totally a God thing! Thank you Lord for what you do!

WHOA!!!! Say what?

Now you Americans I believe have capitalized on what we know as the hamburger and the hot dog, but I believe the world is changing. I believe that people have brighter dreams of tomorrow and are taking imagination to new limits. You see, things that we once new no longer are suitable for the evolving generation of critical thinking people. America has seemed to be in power with it's food identity and I provide proof that this can not longer be classified as a fact. Take a look at what Los Mochis, Mexico can offer to humanity. It is called...... Hot Dog!

Look at these faces!

Very swiftly, I was introduced to the bunch here at the school in Los Mochis. Since I stepped in the door, these little ones have asked me to play with them and help with their studies. They are some interesting kids with wonderful personalities and have so much energy!! I'm just hoping to see if I can keep up with the bunch! Please pray for these children though being that they from pretty bad backgrounds needing God to lead them in the right direction!

Los Mochis, HERE I COME!!!!

As part of my program at RSM, I was surprised by a trip to the luxurious city of Los Mochis!! Actually, it is a city that happened to be a bit flatter than I expected it to be, but here is a view that you can see in front of the school area. This place I am staying at for the next two weeks is at a school provided for both the deaf and at risk children. I think God is going to provide a lot of blessings as He continue leading me through new experiences!

Starbucks Social

Every week here in the city of Ensenada, they have a get together of some of the deaf community to have what we call a coffee social! We originally didn't meet at Starbucks but a different coffee joint; however, that didn't stop us from migrating there to what us Americans know very well to have some GOOD coffee! I got to meet some new people, learned some great sign, and just had a wonderful time making new friends! It wasn't too hard to jump into conversation with the people being so welcoming!

INEA

So, with being here for a little bit of time, I have been able to see a gentleman by the name of Robert do what he does best, help the people around him which include both the deaf and the neighbors that around him. I feel so blessed to see God using him in such a way and to also know that he has been with the Ranch for such a long time! He is currently working with two young gentleman finish some of their schooling with the INEA program. INEA is a type of homeschooling program the Mexico endorses and Jose Antonio (on the right) and Alfredo (in the background) are the two that he is working with. I have had the chance to jump in there as well by helping Robert teach these two all in Sign Language and Spanish. These two are working hard to pass their tests and then they will be then ready for the workforce after they finish their education!

Such Beauty!

Standing on the back porch, I have such a beautiful view of the city. Being that we are located in the hills far back in the picture, I have a pretty nice angle to look upon the people of Ensenada way down below. But when it became night time, it was a completely different city to my eyes seeing the beauty of people bustling between the many city lights and seeing the ocean brush up against the city's edge. Having the cruise ship in the distance quietly sitting there with it lighting up as well! Now to take it up a notch, I am standing there alone on the porch looking out and realized that in fact, I wasn't alone because God was right there with me! Such an amazing feeling to spend a couple hours just looking at this view with the God of the Universe!!

Going to Ensenada!

The next part of my internship is the near by buzzing city of Ensenada! There are a lot of people there compared to the Ranch and some pretty crazy drivers. Until you have tried a bus ride in a country like Mexico, you haven't experienced life! It doesn't matter if it is a narrow step road located on the side of the hills we live in, speed is not really a concern to our wonderful bus conductors! Anyway, I am currently living with 7 deaf people with one of them being in the picture on our back porch. It is wonderful to have deaf adults to have some good conversations to really pick up on the sign that I really need! This is going to be fun while I am here!
