Tuesday

 

3:30pm  The rooster were crowing again last night!   In fact I hear them right now!  J

 

This morning Gary, Val and I (Bev) walked 2 miles to the café to get coffee (café) and bread (pan).  After breakfast we all headed over to the church for our last day of painting.  It’s been hard work but fun working together and getting to the staff of La Fuente.  Two wonderful couples who volunteer at the church fixed us a “gringo” lunch of sandwiches and potato and broccoli salads.  More good food!

 

We had a few hours off so… some of us walked back to downtown Bucerias to visit some new and very precious friends from Alaska. Russ and Charlene attend La Fuente and live here during the winter months.  We have been very blessed to have met some amazing brothers and sisters in Christ!

 

5:15pm Pete and Celina are going with Ann and Val to San Vicente mission.  Chelsea, Gary and I are on our way to San Ignacio.

 

We have adopted the big, friendly dog that lives downstairs.  This morning we met her owner and found out that her name is Azul (we’ve been calling her Rosa).  She  (the dog) greets us every day as we come and go.

 

10pm  Back from the mission!  We began setting up chairs, tables and a sound system.  There approximately 35 people there, lots of kids.  Before worship we all began taking pictures of the children, they loved looking at the pictures of themselves.  J  After worship Chelsea and I went upstairs with the children where AJ taught the older kids and Moorea the younger.  The lesson was about God parting the Red Sea as the Israelites were fleeing from Egypt.  Then the older kids had a work sheet and the younger a coloring page.  After that we took the kids to the park where we played and laughed.  At one point one of the little girls confiscated Chelsea’s camera and took pictures of all her friends.  The town of San Ignacio has only about 300 people.  In many of the families both parents work and the children are left to raise themselves.  They warmed up to us and we had a great time playing with them.

 

And now it’s time for bed.  Good night all!
