Duncan Christian School

This week the senior class from Duncan Christian School in Duncan, British Colombia, have been with us on their class Mission trip. They have been busy pouring cement at the Agua Viva Mission in the mornings,

painting the new second story dormitories and meeting room at the rehab center in the afternoon,

and holding open air VBS programs for the children in the evening. We have enjoyed getting to know these great kids, and their teacher/chaperons!

Noche Mexicana

On the 15th of September, Mexico celebrated 200 years since their declaration of Independence. At the Agua Viva Mission we celebrated this historic event with a Noche Mexicana (Mexican Night).

We invited families from the community to celebrate with us, and many came.

We had lots of good food,

special music,

costumes,

dramas by the guys at the rehab center,

a short message from Scott, and of course the famous "Grito" (yell) to honor those who began the fight for independence.

On the 16th, the Prince of Peace church also celebrated. Check out Pastor Isaac and Ruth!
