¡Viva la México!

Remember those long days of summer when your days were so full you literally crashed at the dinner table and then had to be put to bed?  Well, that was my finalé yesterday and I suspect it wasn't just me.  There are only so many days of heat and wee sleeping hours that one body can take.  So here I sit, pad in hand, eight hours late, finishing my blog.

So much has happened since the ba-boom!!!!! Lol

Saturday, Mexico won its first Olympic Gold in fútbol!!!!!  There was so much celebration here!!!  It was very exciting!!  The celebrations and gloating went on thru the night I imagine. We were very happy for them.
The evening ended on a high note as we practiced our songs for worship team the next morning with our Mexican family.  It was a completely enriching experience right down to our souls.
Son-day arose with the promise of yet another "warm" one (104 degrees).  Off we went to church where we worshiped with praisesong and Doug, Jerred and Russ presented the message of church unity. A powerful topic for all church bodies where the evil one seeks to invade and divide.  A worthy thought to ponder.
We were then treated to lunch at our dear friend Martina's house. The boys couldn't get enough of meatloaf and mashed potatoes etc etc.  What a wonderful sister in Christ she is.  She is one, of a very few Mexican friends, we are able to keep in touch with on Facebook.  Invaluable for our sister churches.

Then it was off to the brothel.............. Bahahahaha............but of course.  A very vacant property the church would like to purchase.  Except for the vagrant Jaime and i  have endearingly named "Juando" and the deceased watch dog, the property is FULL of possibilities for those who can visualize Pastor Chava's dream.  The property has 57 rooms (brothel Duh!) where the church would love to care for orphans, homeless teens and their own of course.  It has a large indoor room which would be an awesome sanctuary.  Several aqueducts, out buildings and a field big enough for fútbol, finish this compound out. More thoughts to ponder.

My night finished out with a leisurely stroll thru a local graveyard.  Diana, Jaime and I are happy to report there were no restless souls lurking about.  Just a few families tending to the ornate decor of loved ones lost.  The mariachi music blaring from a truck nearby, set the scene for a very pleasant evening indeed.
