Day 16

What a privilege to be able to wake up to the sunshine and the roosters crowing and to take in all of God's beautiful creation. Kim and I cleaned up the flower beds and enjoyed working outside and soaking up the sun. Our men continued to work on the new plumbing (sewage pipe) and things are progressing nicely.

After a delicious hamburger, fries and onions rings lunch we took a drive, about an hour and a half away to a little fishing village to bring them some clothes. The pastor, Guialliamo?, informed us afterwards that clothing is very expensive in their small remote village so this gift of clothing was a real blessing to them. Some of the ladies came and thanked us afterwards. This young pastor, with his wife and two young children, has a passion for the people of his village and wants them all to know of God's love. We pray that he will be strengthened and encouraged to continue to his work for the Lord.

Our delicious tostito supper was difficult not to over eat. I love Mexican food! Tonight was a cantata called "When love was born" held at the American Church. Ryan, one of the full time workers here was the piano player. Not only did he do an excellent job but the choir (all seniors)did a wonderful job as well. The sweets table after the cantata not only looked beautiful but tasted delicious as well. Of course we had to come back to the house for another game of Rook.

For Vic & Kim and Victoria this was their last night, and I do believe they all had a wonderful time. They might even decide to come back some day. It was too bad that Vic had a bad sinus cold for a number of days but seems to be feeling better now.
