Day 5

Nearly 20 years ago, when First Church sponsored its first mission trip to Mexico, Dafne and Enrique met our chartered bus on the side of a highway leading out of Mexico City to provide us with cases of bottled water, soda, juice, sandwiches and snacks for our overnight trip to Oaxaca. Tonight, we had dinner with them, as well as their 2 children. Since our first mission trip, Enrique and his nephew were members of one of our trips, and Dafne is the one who connected us with Marian and Solyluna. We thank them for the 19 years of support!

In addition to a lot of painting, we met two college student interns who are working on a publicity campaign for Solyluna. One of their primary questions was why we would spend a week in a foreign country working with an organization like Solyluna. They were interested in our belief in serving others and sharing our gifts and talents beyond our normal social circles.
