Tuesday

We have just returned from church in Jalaca where John preached tonight and did a awesome job. There was a church full and everyone made us feel welcome. You could feel the Lord working all around us. Dena sang two songs and Penny gave testimony before John preached his sermon.
Today was another beautiful day here. Cory, Brandon and I worked on our fencing job, Tom worked on repairing the tractor after it broke a hydraulic hose. The girls spent the morning bagging the food for our feeding program. They made 101 bags of food to be given to the needy women and children on Friday morning. Then they spent the afternoon treating the girls here in the orphanage for lice and cutting their hair, making them very happy in the process. A new family arrived today from El Paso, Texas. Mark and Anna and their three children went with us to the church service in Jalaca. Mark is French Canadian and Anna is from Old Mexico, Anna was gracious enough to act as our interpreter for the service. She will also go with the woman tomorrow to the hospital in the capital, where they will give the new mothers gifts.
Last night I was so tired that after I cleaned up I layed down to rest a few minutes and woke up this morning at ten to five. We have been working as hard as we can and trying to do all we can. Jim and Georgia tell us they are so impressed with how hard we work and all we are getting done.
