On Wednesday nights, Mission Adelante has a youth program called Youth Club. Youth Club is a program where we offer youth mentoring, fellowship, and encouragement as they grow in their walk with Jesus.

When I was younger, my sister Carla and her husband, Daniel, always tried convincing me to attend Teens Adelante, which is what Youth Club was called back then. I was always hardheaded and never wanted to join. Then, back in middle school, I got in trouble, and my mom forced me to attend Teens Adelante. Little did she know that it was going to be one of the greatest gifts of my life.

This Summer, in Snapshots

And just like that, the summer season has come to a close. The season brought many sunshiny days, honest conversations, significant milestones, happy reunions, and hard goodbyes.

One of my favorite things to do is scroll through my camera roll and remember what I've been up to. There are so many memories I didn't capture, but here are a few of my favorites!

Growing Community, One Citizen at a Time

The summer season brought exciting news and new opportunities for our students. We were delighted to see our Citizenship Program continue to grow and reach more people who wanted to take the important step toward becoming U.S. citizens. As part of this growth, we opened a new class schedule on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., thanks to the valuable support of our volunteers, Donna Devine and Priscilla DiPasquale. We had four students enrolled in this morning class.

Behold, He Is Doing New Things

Those of you who read my blog in February (check it out here ) know that our adult ministry team has grown. The team of me, myself, and I became Erika and me in August of last year, and with this expansion has come more POWER, more brainpower, and, of course, more (wo)manpower. As we wrote our goals at the end of last year, I believe Erika and I both sensed that 2026 would bring new experiences and learning opportunities; however, I don't believe either of us envisioned that expanding both our ESL and Citizenship programs in the same trimester would be a "thing".

Look What God Did

As our annual Arts Camp approached, I'll admit that this year stretched my faith.

Planning an event is never simple, but this season brought unique challenges. Finding enough volunteers, reaching families, navigating people's fears about leaving their homes because of everything happening around us, and trying to think through every small detail so the week would run smoothly - all of it felt like a constant roller coaster (and I don't even like roller coasters).

There were moments when I wanted to have every answer, every plan finalized, and every problem solved before moving forward. I wanted to know that everything would work. I wanted to know that enough people would come, that we'd have enough volunteers, that the students would enjoy themselves, and that all the little pieces would somehow fit together.
