Last night we went to "the zone" which was very interesting. The Zone is kinda like Mazatlan's red-light district where there is a lot of drugs, prostitutes and night clubs. It's not a very big area, just a neighborhood but it was amazing the amount of longing and hurt that was present there. We had the opportunity to talk to a few people, one of whom was a lady that came up to us and asked us if we wanted a party but once we started talking to her she broke down and started crying and is going to church with one of the groups this morning! It was really cool to see God work like that and touch her. We also prayed for a little church that was there and for a family that has always been a big help in that district. Shiloh, the staff that is in charge, told us that the atmosphere there has really improved since YWAM first started coming and is a lot less dark and depressing. It was encouraging to hear that and know that by me being there, I'm playing a part in that change and am helping usher in God's work in that area. Please just keep that area in your prayers and for Juan and Arrelio, two guys we met there and talked to and prayed for.

Hi Zach,

I finally got on your blog sight. It was fun reading about how God is working in your life down there. We have all been praying for you and miss you, but know God is growing you and that you are where you are supposed to be.
Love,
Aunt Barb
