Hello there! It's day 6 of our Mexico trip and its been amazing showing God's love to the children and families down here.

Today I really enjoyed because I had the neatest experience. I brought a bottle of bright pink sparkly nail polish to paint the little girls' nails. I even got the shy girl, Cecilia, to sit down and let me do her's.

The best though, was when two older women came to ask me to paint their nails. The older of the two had fairly advanced arthritisin her fingers and didn't want me to paint them, hiding them in her lap. I insisted. She let me, and when I was done she was so proud of her pink fingernails. When Carmen came to see, she pointed out her arthritis and said it wasn't beautiful, but Carmen told her that God made her beautiful and that He loves her very much. She was all smiles and agreed they were "benita".
