Dios Esta Aqui

Greetings!  Back on the internet after being unable to connect on Sunday.  So much to share!  On Sunday we got a grand tour of the farm from the boys and got to watch them have a blast swimming in one of the farm ponds.  We had a day off from our painting project, so we mostly relaxed and hung out with the students until late afternoon when we attended an Evensong service in the nearby villiage of Talanga.  The Church building was very humble, but the people where so welcoming and their strong faith was palpable.  As the chorus of our last hymn affirmed, ¨Dios Esta Aqui.¨

Sunday night after another meal of beans and tortillas (supplemented by some fresh watermelon that we picked up to share in Talanga), we played cards with the boys until their bedtime.  We are making fast friends with these wonderful young men!

This (Monday) morning, we split up in pairs to help the boys with some of their farm chores.  Everything from herding cows and goats to collecting eggs.  It was fun and we learned a lot about what it takes to keep a farm running smoothly.  This afternoon while the boys are in class, we will complete our painting project before taking a bit of much deserved rest this evening. 

With the exception of a few upset stomachs and sore limbs, we are all doing very well.  Keep praying!  We miss you all...and will check in again when possible.  Blessings-the Team
