There is definite poverty here.
One of the buildings on the way to church.
Here's our classroom. It's good because 2 of the moms have small babies, and they are able to keep them in the class with us. That way, nobody gets left out.
Here's Isis, Kilaine, and Isa. Just today, I came around the corner and saw Kilaine & Isa together. Kilaine said to me, "Mommy, we are going to pray together. We are going to go somewhere really quiet." Later I asked her if they prayed. She said yes, and told me what they prayed about. It was pretty awesome. What a reminder of the impact that our lives have on our children.
This is Graham. He's going to Sri Lanka. Elena (2 1/2 yrs. old) likes it when he bangs on the pole. She puts her ear to it and listens to the sound it makes. We are all becoming family.
Osiris, a 13 year old Mexican boy likes going out in the field and catching camillions (sp?). (Don't worry, he doesn't wear pink, Isa is holding the animal! Ha ha) The kids love them. They are little horny lizard things. They're pretty cool.
The kids are having fun all together. There are 8 kids here from 9 down to 8 months old. Also, a little Mexican girl and boy are here a lot. Their parents are cooking for us everyday.
we do have a washing machine, praise the Lord, but the clothes hang on the line to dry. It's kind of fun hanging them up, I don't know if I'll still feel that way in 3 weeks or not... No, but really, it's good to be here, to begin living like we will in the mission field.
Yesterday morning, I got up early and went outside to have my study time with the Lord. I got to see the sun rising over the hills.
