July 5

 This afternoon I went to the ladies Bible study in San Narciso.   We discussed what the differences were between a good shepherd (pastor) and a mal pastor, and also how important the shepherd is to the flock (pastor to the church).  We spent over two hours discussing what was on two pages of their Bible study book.   I really enjoy meeting with these ladies.    After the study, which Alvaro leads, the ladies spent another hour planning the meals they will serve when they host a team this coming week.   I left before they were finished.




Dale spent the time talking with Alvaro's eldest son who just graduated from Cornerstone a couple weeks ago.   He will go on to 6th form this fall, and in two years have an associates degree before continuing his education somewhere where else for his BA.

 This young lady kept the chart of the meal plans for next week on the chalk board.   She is always present when the church doors are open and plays the keyboard for church services.  

 Tonight we met Elsa and Tito and kids at Cactus Plaza for dinner.   We had a lot of fun with the kids - I'd love to bring them home with me!   Actually I'd love to bring the whole family home with us.

We walked over to the bay and had some fun - the kids kept wanting me to take their photo.

We also are taking care of the puppies - making sure they get food twice a day, and some water.
We won't be bringing any of them home with us, however!
