In Mexico City it was an honor and privilege to meet Captain Silvia Cortes and Captain Jamie Morales and learned about some of their ongoing projects, flood relief to areas affected by the just recent heavy rains (photos to come), neighborhood ministries and children programs. During our two days with Silvia and Jamie we work together to assemble an outdoor car port covering, rearrange some furniture and try our hands at some artistic painting (Lots of Fun). We finished off our final day by visiting a nearby hospital and listened to Silvia and Jamie sing and pray (in Spanish) before offering people coffee and pastries.
Nothing like volunteering at the Salvation Army to get a heavy dose of humility, faith and perspective. Once again our small infrequent efforts are mushroomed by comparison to the day to day support and assistance given by the many selfless Salvation Army staff and volunteers throughout the world.
