My love to all of you! I hope this finds all of you well. We pray for your continued safety and guidance as you pray for us.
It was our first real day the people in the barrio and I can not think of a better day to do it than the Lords Day. We made our way to the barrio around half past nine. As we returned to there for the first time in a year we were amazed to see that the medical building was completely enclosed with windows and doors.
I think all they need now is some equipment and a staff. What a blessing that will be for the people of the area.
We were also greeted by about 150 smiling little faces. Our mission this morning was to play some games with the kids, feed them and tell them a story with a craft. I am so proud of the way my team worked together this morning.
Kris and Andrea taught the story to two groups of kids and we made puppets with the kids. Chandler Christian donated some 500 lunch bags to our group and we did lunch bag puppets with the kids.

We played a little red light green light and a couple of other games and handed out some treats. A great morning.
This afternoon....we played a little soccer and volleyball with a number of adults from the barrio. I am always humbled by the competion and reminded that I am getting older and definately not in playing contidition. None the less....we hung in there with them and were competitive too.
After our dinner....it was church time. It get so much out of their services even thought I may not understand everything. We sang a number of praise songs and Dan Hitzler delivered a mesage about the Holy Spirit. He did a great job! Loys spoke some too! I like to listen to him teach. He does it with such a passion.
Tomorrow is the Barrio Directors day off....so we will take the day off too! We plan to head into Trujillo during the day to take in a little sight seeing....and see the projects new offices. Then a evening at Mike and Danells for some pizza and maybe........a little playstation.
We miss all of you back home!
