Group 3 in Mazatlan

RODO'S MOM IS HERE... YAY:)

We just had our 3rd group here in Mazatlan. This group was from LifePoint Vineyard in Ohio. It was really fun going from a group of 50 to a group of 9! We had a LOT of left overs every night because i got used to cooking for bigger groups:) With smaller groups you just have more margin to do things.

We had a blast this past week together digging holes, eating tacos, finishing the pool area at floreser, having a pizza party with the girls, eating breakfast at Ricos, putting the bridge on the play set at the salvation army home, and going on a field trip with sweet girls.

We went over to deer island on the shark boat (the picture above). We had an intense game of volleyball going. It was so fun. My new friend, Sarah, was the only one that got in the water with 4 of the girls that REALLY wanted to play in the water. Literally all day long she was in the FREEZING cold water just being a friend to girls that need friends the most. Some of them had just arrived to the house the day before and they just jumped right in playing and swimming.

We bought the girls some ice cream, said our good-byes and departed to our two separate houses. It was the perfect way to end lifepoints trip with us.

Each night we have our groups circle up for what we call debriefing. Debriefing is where a staff member just walks them through their week and asks maybe some more difficult questions, that they themselves might not think of, to get their mind going. This is one of my FAVORITE positions here at back2back. And because there is so few of us here in Mazatlan i am able to be with all of our groups that come. It is a privilege to be able to be with a group as their hostess and to hear how God is working through them as individuals and as a group. I love that when we sit and reflect on what God has for us, the possibilities are endless. No other distractions here, Just God.

It is exciting to see how evident it is that Back2Back should be here in Mazatlan. It is exciting that every person that has come on a trip has seen that first hand.

We are so pumped for groups coming up and to see what God has in store for Rodolfo and I and the ministry here in Mazatlan.
