July 5 & 6

On Saturday we spent a good part of the day getting ready for the workshops, which begin 8:30 Monday morning. We had to go to the school to prepare the classroom - sweep, rearrange, make sure the projector was working, etc.

The first hurdle was finding someone with a key to the classroom - Milo the watchman wasn't home, so we drove out to Patchekan and Tito the maintenance man had gone fishing, so we drove around asking where Moises the science teacher lived - finally found him, and after an hour of driving around, we were back at the school setting up. Above is a picture of Linda sweeping up the rat droppings and one of Dale and Carla discussing how the classroom should be set up.

Later in the afternoon we went to Sam and Marc Summers to help greet a team of 40 that had arrived for the week and to eat dinner with them. Elsa and Alvaro and the San Narciso youth group had prepared the usual fare of BBQ chicken, cold pork & beans, and potato salad with a flour tortilla.

This morning we went to Sunday School in Cristo Rey and had lunch at Dorothy's. Dorothy leaves tomorrow to visit friends and family in the US - so we're glad we had the opportunity to spend some time with her before she leaves.

Tonight we will attend church in San Narciso and tomorrow will start a busy week of teaching for Dale. Elsa is looking forward to Linda's helping her organize the school office at Cornerstone.

Pray for a man from the team who arrived here yesterday who is on his way back to the states after suffering a gall stone attack early this morning. His name is Carl.
