Monday: Our first day at work!

Monday morning was our first day at work. We had several work crews. Three crews painted in the morning at different locations -- two different spots at the girl's school where we are staying and one at a church several blocks away. Mike was asked to work on computers -- getting them to work...and then work better.


We worked until lunch --about 1:00PM -- then ate lunch and had a brief siesta. At 3:30 pm, we went out to a very poor section of Merida, to a playground and field where Pastor Victor ministers to poor children. We did our drama for them and played games with the various age groups: very young, elementary, and middle school age.


Afterwards, we stopped by a supermarket and the Winds' house. We saw a DVD about their family ministry. We then went back to the girls' school, ate dinner (at 8:00) and laid around the rest of the night.

Pray for the weather and how we are handling it. It's hot: 91 degrees on Monday with 100% humidity. The rest of the week is going to steadily get hotter (100 degrees today (Tuesday)). Also pray for health. We have already had one kinda-ill person (Amy Brace) who was much better this morning. Thanks for your prayers up to now.
