Our group of twenty are safe but a bit soaked. It has rained at least three inches each day.
Seeing mayan ruins through the rain added a unique dimension to the jungle.
We are experiencing great commraderie in planning and packing at the convent as well as working with villagers in corazon and san lucas.
"Dem bones" was a big hit during health lessons, especially with jill's skeletons from halloween.
Judy's recording the children singing "rain down" added a little humor but the real fun came when they watched themselves on the IPad afterwards. There were lots of proud moms watching the video at the community luncheon. Santiago hosted a caulda tortilla lunch. Hope to share some pics soon.
Due to the rain the men in san lucas were not working the field so there were 18 men replacing the ceiling at the school.
Miss ann wants to share that concepcion and felix have named their son justin after justyin bieber :)
Hope and Peace.

It is hard to picture 18 men in the tiny two room school in San Lucas working on the ceiling!
ReplyDeleteWe gave Concepcion and Felix such a long, great list of names in June, and they went with Justin! Really??
Be careful driving in all that rain.
