From Taylor Ballard

Hey everyone!!! Today is the last day of our mission trip and this
morning we had an amazing opportunity. We traveled to Girasoles, which
is a shantytown in the desert, and passed out water to the people who
lived there. Most of those living there were expecting woman and
little children, and we even got to hold two month old twins. Their
houses were composed of straw walls and most did not even have roofs.
Flies were swarming and there was a foul odor. I can't fathom anyone
living like that. My heart was breaking as I saw the poverty around
us. I absolutely loved seeing the smiles on their faces as we gave
them the water that would have to last them for month or more. Despite
the fact that we made such a difference to them I felt as if we were
doing so little. Please keep them in your prayers and pray that as
they recieve water that they would grow to recieve the living water of
Christ and thirst no more!!
