Hello Friends and Family,
Happy Easter! He is Risen! I hope that each of you is having a great weekend with family celebrating and remembering the hope that we have for eternity! I've been reminded this weekend that without Christ, life on earth is boring and pointless, but with Him and his conquering death for our sake, we now have HOPE! While we've had the chance to be in Sandy this weekend with family and attend a Saturday night service, we will be unable to be with family on Easter Sunday. But, we will have the chance to be with 'extended' family during Easter and the week of Spring Break as we have an opportunity to go to Ensenada, Mexico and serve the people there with Senior high students from SEC!
We are extremely excited to leave tomorrow, not so much for the 21 hour, two day drive to Ensenada awaiting us, but the chance to spend time with some amazing students and be able to learn how to serve them and the people and children in Ensenada we are going to serve. We will be helping the students run a vacation bible school with 50-75 mexican kids, do minor construction on houses of pastors and people in the area who need construction done, as well as being able to visit an orphanage (which Kealy is most excited about) and love on kids who need love the most. It is going to be an incredible week, not only to serve and be able to share Christ's love with people there, but to be challenged and stretched in our own lives, and watch God work in the hearts of the students that are going that we care so much about. We'll be out of radio contact for a week, but will be sure to get pictures and information to each of you still following along about an exciting week in Mexico. Please pray for safety for the group and that Christ would challenge our hearts and faith so that we may grow closer to Him! Happy Easter.
In Christ,
Ryan and Kealy Thorson
