I've enjoyed the teen meetings and being able to hear testimonies and sing with all of the American and Mexican teens together. Watching everyone interact with each other even tho there was a language barrier, it was amazing to worship together with my brother and sisters in Christ. -KM
A couple things have stood out to me as our hampton park team has attempted to serve our Christian family in Mexico (although I think we were served even more by our brothers and sisters). First of all, God has been just as sovereign on this trip as He was on our previous mission trip. ...
This has been a fantastic trip! The sweet fellowship with brothers and sisters in Mexico has been hugely impactful. The children have been eager to listen and learn, and they have enjoyed the games with the teens. The ladies in the church have been fantastic hosts. Their warm hugs and eagerness...
One part about this trip that really stood out was the sinkhole that we visited. It was amazing! It was a huge hole that was completely filled with water and was over 100 meters deep. It was part of an underground river system that connected many different sinkholes. There was a path that lead...
One thing that has really stood out to me has been the hospitality displayed by the Mexicans. Even when just walking by on the sidewalk, every person that passes in a car will wave and be genuinely happy to see you. And at every single Mexican pastor's house we have stayed at, they provide huge...

This morning has been great! We just finished lunch so we still have the rest of the day to go. This morning we went to a cenote, which is a sinkhole. It was beautiful there, and we enjoyed exploring around. When we were done there, we went to the square in the city and looked around. There were...
Yesterday we spent the day in at the church in Bécal. We were also taken to the places where the town people make their hats. They took us down into the caves they weave in and explained the process of hat making. After that we left, many with new hats, and went back to the church for a...
The Third day of our missions trip started with a shower scare at the hotel. Some of us had cold water and some of us had none. Nevertheless we all were off to breakfast at Pastor Luiz's house to kick off the day. After we ate breakfast we went outside and played around with the socce- the...
