On Christmas day 2008, we arrived in Edinburg, TX to meet the groups from Nagadoches, TX and Texarkana, TX & AR that were going to be joining us for Christmas trips. From there we headed deep into the Sierra Madre Oriential mountains. We brought the news of Christ's birth, death and resurrection to small villages that dot the desert mountain landscape. To celebrate Christ's love we also gave out love packs with the bare essentials like soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, washclothes, etc. Included in the love packs also were a small gift for each of the children. For many of the children this was the only gifts they would get this Christmas.We had a great time, made many new friends, and best of all we shared the love of Christ in a very tangible way.
