One more day, many more miracles in Mexico! On Monday, Group 1 returns to Imperio de Amor. In tow, two huge jugs of chlorine and many prayers that this will be the miracle needed to provide clean water to our children we have now fallen in love with. We gather round the pool as Ryan pours the chlorine in and the "Father" in the children's home fires up the filter. Then off to work for our kids. Several hours later, after painting, staining and several intense games of soccer in the searing sun...shouts of joy come from the pool! We all run to the patio to witness clean, brilliant blue water in a pool that just hours ago was green, dirty and contaminated. WHAT JOY! It was POOL PARTY TIME! 
All 50 of the children from Imperio de Amor, plus all 25 of us jump in! It was a magical, spiritual, FUN moment for everyone. We have never witnessed such sheer joy in a pool before. The kids from the home were laughing, shouting, cheering, playing, loving while our kids were in awe that two simple jugs of chlorine could work miracles in a pool. This water will now be used for the kids to shower and other uses around the home. No more worries about the kids getting sick from contaminated water. God provided once again to our urgent prayers for clean water. DIOS DE AMOR-God is love! After the pool party, the children thanked us by singing at the top of their lungs with songs of praise! Their faces were shining like bright lights, they know they are children of the most high God! Our time at Imperio de Amor ended with quiet prayer time in small groups. Our kids prayed over their newfound friends. More joy, more tears, more love. As the bus pulled away, the children shouted to us that they can not wait for our next pool party here at Back2Back on Tuesday. We will count the moments until they arrive.
