love love love


Medical Clinic Dedication- The medical clinic on our campus just had its ground breaking this past week. this picture is not the finished product. this picture was taken in july. now there is beautiful grass and lots of detail on the inside. Our goal- for the orphan child to be helped. start with records of each child and keep up with shots etc.
We currently have a medical group here. they have seen hundreds of people and are doing such great work. i heard a story that really touched me so i want to share it with you.
The medical team along with another group went out to the CADEREYTA which is a squatters village that we serve. The doctors were seeing people and the other team with them went from house to house praying for people and delivering food. they came to one house and the lady said she was wanted them to pray for her family and for her brother. she had not seen her brother in 6-7 years and hasn't talked to him in 3-4 years. So after they prayed she asked if they could send a letter to her brother, who was living in north carolina, and see if they would call him to tell him that she says hello and for him to call their mom. so they went back to get the letter and the brothers phone number when it dawned on a man with our group that he had his blackberry phone with him and he pulled it out to see if it had service and it DID. which is huge, an american phone working in the Cadereyta. ONLY GOD. so the lady knew her brothers phone number and the man dialed it and it was working. Her brother answered the phone and she immediately started crying her eyes out. she was so excited and overwhelmed with the fact that she was talking to her brother. it was such a sweet moment. That man with the group didn't hesitate to give this lady who has nothing his blackberry phone. This women was thinking that a letter would get to her brother months later if at all. But the need was there and this sweet man met that need for that women in the Caderyeta. Talk about a divine appointment from the Lord. This did not happen by coincidence people. God has ordained each and every one of our days and there is no doubt that The God of the universe was appointing this day, this time, this man, and this women. What a sweet testimony to the Loving Father we have looking out for us.






Casa Hogar Del Norte- i spent some time there this past week getting a gym ready for a grand opening. The scaffold was super high and i was kinda scared but... I DID IT. me and my team that was with me for the painting project finished all the walls helping get it ready for the opening which will be in November. it was a fun project and together we accomplished alot at this specific childrens home.









sweet new baby girl!!!!!! this little girl is new to CASA HOGAR DEL NORTE. there is her and then twin boys that live there that are all babies. i had such a sweet moment with these babies one day. so many people noticed that one of the little boys was playing but looked really tired, so they were trying to pick him up he started crying each time. so then i went over and picked him up. He didn't cry. so i started singing to him and he fell right asleep. those are some of my favorite moments with children. I love putting babies to sleep. i immediately started praying for the child i was holding and was praying that i hope he realizes how much God loves him in the midst of what his life is going to look like. When he starts realizing that he lives in an orphanage, his heart could start getting hard and i kept praying that God would continue to keep it soft. So prayer warriors this is where you come in. Pray for the orphan child here in Monterrey and all over the world. there is 143 million orphans in the world. the need is HUGE BUT SO IS GOD.



IMPERIO DE AMOR! this is the newest casa hogar (orphanage) that BACK2BACK has started working with. There is a lot of need at this children's home. The more i go visit to work, play or be with the kids, my heart grows more for the place and all that God is doing and going to do. There is no doubt that these kids are being loved on by their caregivers. Imperio de Amor means the impire of love. That is exactly what happens here. these kids love being with people and even though they might fight like brother and sister they truly love each other. These kids are learning about Christ and the realness of Him and it is a joy to see the growth of this place. The need is great and the Lord promises to provide for them, comfort them, and be their Father. GOD IS MOVING!!!!!! and to HIM BE ALL THE GLORY!!!!!!


MEET PAMELA!!!!! she lives in casa hogar imperio de amor and she has absolutely stolen my heart. She is 6 years old. i am always kissing on her, hugging her and playing with her. this little girl has a smile that could bright up a room, make a person feel loved and if you are sad, well her sweet smile would take care of that. i am praying for this sweet girl so hard. Knowing that God has a divine purpose for her and claiming that in His name.




These girls are SO precious to me. we are always hanging out when i go to their children's home. we are always laughing, singing fun songs (in spanish), and tons of loving each other. They are so special to God and i want them to know that. pray for my spanish so that these sweet kids will realize their identity in HIM and that living in a casa hogar (orphanage) DOES NOT DEFINE WHO THEY ARE!






We just had a fall festival with the staff kids on campus. we decided to be the ninja turtles. pretty clever huh? it was a super fun night with the families we serve with. We had a hayride, bonfire, and fun games. it was a great night. the kids came to each door on campus begging for candy! haha i remember those days... okay maybe i tagged along with them. We definitely had the Best costumes!!!!! well at least we thought we did.
