Wonderful Wednesday

The weather is finally on our side! The team of Annne, Suzanne, Donna and Roy made it to Otoxha to teach health and hygeine to the students. The community had lunch prepared for the team. The San Lucas construction crew is about 80 percent finished with their project. It will be ready for painting when the June group comes down. In appreciation of the hard work the principal and teacher cooked tamales wrapped in wahoo leaves for the group.
Little Flower school is within walking distance of our sleeping quarters. We added the school this year. It was like being in the Catholic schools back home. Judy, Kathy and Derlene brought music, religious education and a Living Roasry led by the students. Many new songs were sang during our prayer. The San Lucas teachers continue to enjoy their time with the students. There was all student participation as Mary, Jill and Fr. Don taught how to make carbon dioxide rocks. All was amazed and excited to be learning hands on science. Rose, Carolyn, Ann and Bobby brought art projects and brought gifts of flip flops, health hygeine to the students. The students were soooo excited to see Bobby and play football with him. The students played with the puppets that Anne's class back home made for them. It is clear by the many words of appreciation how blessed the people feel by the generousity of our many friends back home.
We send our love back home to our families and friends; please continue to keep us in your prayers. May God continue to bless you all.
