Returning from the Chichimeca Trip

We spent all Saturday on the road trying to get back across the border to Laredo, where we would spend the night and continue on to Garland the next day. As we drove, we reflected back on the events that occurred on Thursday. One of the young girls named Elizabeth (who we grew to know and love) from a family living adjacent to the mission truly touched our hearts. She became especially close to Denise, Marie, and Liliana. Elizabeth had accepted the Lord and it was Denise’s desire to pass her bible on to her. The bible had special meaning to Denise and so it was therefore a gift from the heart. It was truly moving to see how grateful Elizabeth was in receiving this special gift. It was very endearing that she genuinely wanted to come back to the states with us. Afterward Liliana and Marie also gave her a couple of personal items. Liliana then prayed with some of the family members. One of the young men who had been avoiding our efforts to approach him with the Gospel finally was willing to listen and accepted Jesus as his savior. This will always remain as one of the highlights of our trip.
