Just another Martes in Paraiso

Tuesday was a good day, however we may have lost a couple of our girls...................Ha.....made you look.   Such a blessing it was to help our people with 2 VBS's today, it was uttered that "I had so much fun today, I am definitely staying here".  Now we all know that it would be very tough thing indeed to pull off, and we would probably have some angry parents.  However, it is a testament to the quality of our team and the love that is being shared.  

From the "work" side of things, we are progressing on some of the projects we started last year and were not finished.  Jerred, Russ (pronounced Roos for all you northerners), and I have been tiling, painting, and doing some electrical in the 3 new water closets at the church (iglesia).  Working around other projects going on has been challenge, but a blessing to be able to start, and strengthen relationships with our hermanos here in the Baja Sur.  We will have them completed for tomorrow evenings festivities to be sure.

As it was at or near 100 degrees today and hotter weather expected tomorrow, it should be said that other than minor bumps and bruises all health is well and hydration is a priority.   The blowing sand is covering all surfaces and the sweat is running freely.  We have a couple of more double days for VBS and much more work to be completed.  It is hard to think that it is only Tuesday, as we have packed so much love and sharing into the beginning of the week.  The people are tremendous and so welcoming of us, with several meal invitations already on the books and in our tummy's.

I want to thank you all for your prayers as we continue to bake in the desert, but are so rewarded to be a part of a great, diverse team.
