What have you been doing?

Did you ask what I have been doing? Well lets see..... Monday and Tuesday I taught English in the school. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I started helping prepare a building for a cement roof. I started work at 7:30am and worked until 10:30am had a 10 to 15 minute break for a snack and then went back to work until noon had an hour for lunch and then worked until 6:30pm or 7:00pm then cooked supper and went to bed. Friday we finished around 4:00pm. Today my day started at 5:15am. I got up washed some clothes (in the pila not in a machine) and then went strait to work carrying cement for the roof. Today we finished around 10:30. I learned a lot of new Spanish words this week. I hope that someday I will need them again.

Another week is coming to an end and a new one is about to start.

The children will be taking test again this coming week so please pray for them.

I want to thank each one of you for the part that you have played in my ministry here in Patzún. I would not have been able to come if it had not been for each of you and your support and prayers.

This year has been a time in my life that I will never forget. I have made many new friends and learned a new language. I can honestly say that this year has changed the way that I look and missionaries and people from other countries.

Well I have finished two more days of teaching. I was thrilled yesterday when I went into the classes and the children were so happy to see me. They all wanted to give me a hug. It is a wonderful feeling to know that you are missed and that people want you around. We did some reading in the classes today and the children were able to read with very little help.

Back in Patzún!!

Thank you to all of you who were praying for my trip home. I had an awesome time. I was able to see all but two of my brothers. My mom and one of my younger brothers went to GA to see my sister and her husband and son. We had a great time and Cameron is that cutest little guy I have ever seen.

I flew back yesterday and will be teaching today and tomorrow.

I am about to freeze though, coming from weather in the 90 and going to a rainy high 50 low 60 is a big change and I am cold. The six day forecast says that 67 is our high for the week.

Thank you again for you prayers. I will be sending out a prayer letter soon. with more information. Love you all and God bless.
