Last Sunday, Erin, Jeff (he was here last fall for a couple months, and is now back) and myself went to the service at Santisima Trinidad. Pastor Hernandez mentioned that some of the guitarists were going to the pool today, and asked if we wanted to come. Hmmm, lets see, 98 degrees and sunny, Saturday afternoon with nothing much going on, should we go to the pool? UM, ok. So, we invited some of our friends, Ruby and Joana to go with us.
We thought we were just going to a regular pool, because Pastor said the price was good, and you got a buffet lunch, so I thought I could sponsor Ruby and Joana a few dollars to have a good time, guess what? We ended up at the super water park that you may have seen right across the bridge from the mission. Oh well, we were here, and the girls were going to love it, so in we went. Now, in C0lorado, it costs $36.00 to go to Water World, $31.00 if you are under 4 feet tall, and at Wet n Wild here in El Paso, it is $45.00 for ages 4 and up. Guess what it cost for the one in Juarez? 80 pesos. Less than 8 dollars. SWEET!!!!
So in we went, and the girls had a blast. for 8 hours they swam, slid, and ran all over this huge park. I can't believe how much fun they had. It was an awesome day, and I am stoked they had so much fun.
Jeff and I got to talking, and we thought it would be great to give this experience to as many kids from the mission sites in Juarez that we can, so we are developing a plan to try and get around 50 to go in August. If you would like to help by sponsoring a child or two, please contact me for details. Some pics are below. Have a great weekend.
