Hello, I am 7th Grade Boys Sunday Bible School Teacher. Actually, I am more like a baby-sitter or rather a monsters-sitter... ㅋㅋㅋ 
Finally it took you forever to post these photos!!!!
It seems like everyone had such a great time! Such a blessing to see Upside students serving God in places outside of their comfort zones. I hope everyone had a great time and will cherish those moments. <3
I originally did not want to go on this Mission but I believed God had called on me to go (link to my reasons)
I thought God sent me to Mexico Mission to spread God’s word to niños who never heard the message. I was wrong. God sent me to Mexico for me to receive the God message through the niños:
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:11-13)
When I came back from the Mission I said to my family, “We are blessed with abundance.” I told them we simply had too much to be thankful for, i.e. clean water, plenty of food, indoor plumbing, central air and heating, entertainment, Internet, etc. My three kids, each of them said, “Yes, dad, we know and we are already thankful!” Yes, even I knew it before the Mission I had plenty and those niños had very little. But until I have witness the niños, I did not know how to be content with plenty or how to be content with less. My niño, Daniel, was already Christian. When I asked Daniel, “¿Crees en Jesús?” He answered, “Si!” Daniel was grateful for every little thing. When I saw his smile and saw how content he was, I saw Jesus Christ in his heart.
I went to the Mission readying my heart to give. Instead, I have gain the fellowship with niños and gained the ever closer fellowship with the Mission team members many of whom were Upside students.
