Juarez Day One

Greetings Friends and Family,

Today was our first day in the community serving. Lauren and Alex are amazing at putting up brick and morter (alex is a amazing mason lol). We are consturting a new sunday school wing of the church. While everyone else was involved in Kids Club (VBS). Many piggy back rides and soccer games were played. Bart had like 3 kids hanging on him. This is a blessing, to get to know people in the area who have, what we think is sooo little, but yet so much care and love for us...even as strangers.

Sorry for no pics, we are not allowed to take pictures at work sites until wed. They want us to build relationships, and not just flood the community with people taking pictures.

Bye the way, it was 110 degrees, but very dry. Right now it is raining. We are a little tired, but so ready to continue serving.

(sorry for misspellings, we are on Spanish internet, and some words are boggled.

Talk to you soon.


Meg I love you soo much! say hi to shasta

Has Adam taught the local kids how to play hockey yet? Are the girls going though text withdrawl yet? It's hot and muggy here today looks like rain too. I hope you all try a few new things, it may come in handy later. Chec in again later.
