Sitting for hours is not fun at all. Unless you make it exciting. 3-4 hours of driving was all worth the experience to and from Eagle Pass. It is touching to see people so excited to see you. Face painting, footballs and books are some of the few things the children of Eagle Pass considered as a privilege. After the long drive we arrived at the house we were staying. We changed quickly, if at all, put our stuff down and headed out the door to the Posada. Seconds after we got to the colonia where the Posada was being held, children of all ages rushed to help us set up and thanked us and God that we were there to help them.
Setting up was hectic but seeing the look and joy in their faces was well worth all the hard work. I am almost positive everybody will try to come back next year to Eagle Pass. We do mission work not because we have to but because God called our names.
