Blessed Water

Agua Bendita (Blessed Water) is the name of the small community of about thirty families who have made their home the upper mountains behind the city of Tenancingo. It takes about 40 minutes to get there, most of which is dirt roads. All uphill.  Once you get there, you get this great view of the valley filled with greenhouses for all the flowers. You can also see the statue of Jesus from behind and you're actually looking down at it, which is significant since most of the time we're looking up from Tenancingo.

Our assignment was to help build a new kitchen for the family, since their current arrangement had the kitchen and a bedroom together. Also, another home had plastic sheets for walls. We were going to put up corrugated cardboard instead. In the past I'd thought that homes with this kind of siding were very poor homes. Amazing to see how it blessed them to get an upgrade to that instead of what they had!

A few young adults have been visiting almost weekly since last summer. They've gotten to know the community and did a good job identifying key needs where we could be of some assistance. We look forward to continue ministering there.
