We let Zara have 2 days at home, she still has a cough which we don't want to get worse, but her asthma was not bothering her at all today and she has been feeling much better. Thank-you for praying. She's taking a decongestant at the moment, and we are very aware as parents that we need to go at a pace that suits all our family.

They continue to pick up more Spanish words every day.
Not only that, it was our first time together at the Drop-in-Centre in Mexico City. There were 17 kids there today, which is a good number. They are teenagers mostly, and 1 girl there today had a young baby. Our crew got stuck in serving breakfast to the kids, and playing games with them too.
You can see Zara serving some tacos to a queue of hungry street kids from the kitchen. Tabitha, Oscar and Zara have really enjoyed their time, and the street kids who have been coming have enjoyed encouraging them to take part playing table football, Uno and the likes with them.
We'll be back there on Friday for their Church service, and it will be the first time to preach in Spanish for 8 years, although I had to give a class to a group today, which was a good warm up. Teaching needs to be interactive, cause after a good meal, and a shower with clean clothes, they do feel like having a good kip!
Today it was amazing to pray for some of the kids as they shared their needs. For one it was a mother with Cancer. For another, it was strained family relationships which had pushed them to the streets in the first place. For some, they didn't even want to think about their families, let along have someone pray for them.
We feel so very privileged to be accepted into a group of people who carry hurts and difficulties, but take time to listen to some N.Irish folks. That's all for now, so thanks for remembering us and God bless you!
