Men In Balance

 Instead of Pollo Loco (the crazy chicken)  like in Monterrey, we have Pollo Feliz (The Happy Chicken) here in MAZ so we provide our groups with one meal from the happy chicken:) and we   haven't had any complaints yet.

With our first group of the summer, we put a lot of work time into our schedule. We worked out at rancho with cement, Bought a trailer for our cement mixer, had numerous runs to home depot, finished a lot of the work on the play set at salvation army, and loved on some stinkin cute kids. 


This group was small but boy they were hard workers. All the way up to the time they left, they were eager to do the Lord's work. It was such a blessing hearing their stories and how they found out about Back2Back. There was one family here and if i had to pick pictures for the week it was watching the father with his sons. He was teaching them the knowledge he had about tools. It was great how fast they picked up. But, i guess that results in a great teacher huh? 


Also, the leader Vic, was being helped by one of the boys from Salvation Army. The boy was eager to help and since we don't allow them to have power tools, Vic had him measuring out the boards for him. This gave the child a confidence and feeling like he has a purpose. Probably not many men have come beside this kid to help him accomplish anything or maybe even teach him anything positive. God had a purpose for each of our group members for the week they were here, and it was a blessing being able to see each one of those purposes reveal themselves. 


We ended our week with going to a water park called,  MAZAGUA. We ended up inviting 11 girls from Floreser who had never been there and then 8 kids from Salvation Army. A very special day was spent by investing and following all the kids around. Buying them snacks and loving on them. Making them feel special. 
I gave the girls from Floreser a ride home and they could not stop talking about their day. I asked them if they would ever want to go back and they started screaming ... "YES"! Sweet filled memories of this day for all of us involved. I am sure there was nothing but smiles as those sweet children put their heads on their pillows this evening. 


THANK YOU JESUS! 




I promise to get pics of the water park next time we go. It was awesome:)
