El Paso Mission Trip Update

Well, I know this is somewhat unexpected, as I did not mention this trip much in the way similar to Beach Reach, but I am on another mission trip at the moment, this time in El Paso, Texas. We are doing medical work and construction work for the week at various churches. The team this time is minuscule compared to the Beach Reach team and unlike Beach Reach we all eat and sleep at normal human times. Needless to say, this trip is very different from the last.
Yesterday we left and after a rather uneventful trip (highlights include evangelizing the alien population in Roswell, New Mexico) we arrived in El Paso and began preparing for the week. Once we arrived, we set up hundreds of family care kits to give to the families that our medical teams will give out over the course of the week (picture below).




Today has been a very lazy and relaxing day. After going to church on the other side of the city (involving one of the most adventurous van rides I've ever been on), we returned and ate lunch. Up until this moment, we have simply chilled and rested. I took a mini nap and played guitar, learning and experimenting with some very foreign and exotic scales (Purvi Thaat in the key of A, anyone?)
Although this trip will not be as intense as Beach Reach was, this trip is still very important to the overall picture of the bringing the Kingdom of God into the world. We covet your prayers for our team; it is hot, and the construction crews will be working all the hours of the day starting tomorrow. Both the medical team and construction team will experience spiritual warfare in various ways, so please be in prayer for us. I will update again soon. In the mean time, I stand in Ross as we try to hunt down the girl who came with us. Bad idea to take a girl into Ross. Just sayin'.
