First off, I would like to thank the Church for funding our trip down here. We had an uneventful trip until we got to Tuxtla when we discovered that 5 ladies and I had no luggage. Which in my case didn't really bother me because I had left enough clothes left behind from the last trip.
Fortunately there was an available air mattress, blankets, sheets, towels and work clothes for Monday. After site preparation was finished Monday, we began our first concrete mixing and as usual, I appointed myself "Chief Water Boy". Mary Lew and I carried water for the pouring that day and we had a very nice conversation and I got to know Mary Lew. She is a nice person and a very hard worker.
On Tuesday, we had Bible School and as usual the kids were very well mannered and enthusiastic at play time. We all enjoyed watching the kids play with beach balls over a volley ball net. The Bible school is the highlight for me because I get to see all the kids having fun, singing and making crafts.
Wednesday was an adventure at Bible School as the wind began to blow and cause beach balls to travel great distances to the top of the roof and the other side of the building into the construction area. I was worn out trying to keep the children out of the construction area and retrieving the balls. The children still had a great time and it was worth all the trouble.
This morning we carried water for the block layers and carried blocks to the scaffolding for them to lay. They have completed the block work this morning and we are basiclly done working for today. It is 11:29 a.m. here as I update you on our progress.
Thanks again for the opportunity to travel to Mexico.
