Events, Events, Events

We are only at the beginning of week 2 of February and El Pozo has already had lots of events which means lots of great student hang-out time!


SUPER BOWL...

We held our first ever "Courtney Wilson Knee Memorial Super Bowl Party" this year. (Since Courtney is still back in the states recovering from her knee surgery, she didn't get to join us for one of her favorite forms of outreach: football!) So instead of having the fiesta at the campus house, we packed about 30 people into Becky and Courtney's house for a great night of food, fellowship, and football.


POKER...
This year we are also sending our first group of students to Juarez, Mexico during spring break to work with Casas por Cristo building houses. Harold, our wonderful intern, planned a great night of Poker at a local bar to raise funds for this trip. The tournament had a great turnout, with wonderful prizes, excellent food, and we were able to rasie some money for Casa por Cristo. Our final four players even consited of three ladies and only one guy... with Sarah Cruz winning the big event! We have another tournament planned for next month, so all you guys better bring your 'A' game if you want a shot at winning.


JAZZERCIZE...

Last weekend we had 20 ladies attend our Women's Health and Fitness Day. The afternoon consisted of two great talks about our bodies and how we are uniquely made, a professional fitness instructor led our afternoon in none other than 'Jazzercise', and ended with a very yummy and healthy lunch! The day was fun, fun, fun with lots of great female bonding. (If you've never done Jazzercise before I highly recommend it. It will also bring a good laugh!) We had several ladies really interested in learning more about taking care of their bodies for themselves and focusing on God's great plan for them.


There is lots more going on down here with en vivos, devo lunches, Valentine's Party, and the Beach retreat coming soon. More to come soon with the great things God is doing in Puebla, Mexico. (and hopefully more pictures too, assuming it will allow me to upload them!)


Much Love,
