I am headed to Aguascalientes tomorrow to lead an eye clinic for a Samaritan's Purse youth team. They will be doing construction at the work site and we will have eye clinics in various communities. Currently at Pan de Vida, we have 3 new volunteers from Texas. They will be here until Sat and then head back to get ready for University. Also, Richard will be arriving for the school year to teach. he is also from Texas and taught here last year. We also have a new teacher arriving next week and her name is Ana. I only met her briefly as she dropped off her belongings. She will return while I am away.
The rain has stopped for a while, so Aron and the Texas team, along with Gustavo, one of the boys here, cleared away some of the mud and mixed some cement to pave along the hump at the entrance. The previous hump was pretty steep and most vehicles bottomed out on it, so Aron is trying to make it more of a gradual slant. Also more clean up of debris has taken place. I don't know how many of you saw my facebook pictures but during the clean up, a rats nest was found. It was Momma rat and her 18 babies. The boys clobbered her and in the process killed some of the babies and then added the gang to the burn barrel that Aron has continuously burning here. Of course I squealed like a girl and it a sick way it was a bonding moment for Aron and the guys. The all cheered around the barrel over the achievement. Us girls get enjoyment over a lunch and fellowship and guys over a burn barrel, Thank you Lord for making me a girl!!
As Aron has worked on some of the vehicles, he has saved the used oil. He was told they use it to paint the pigs so the flies won't bother them and they can sleep better. Well, last night a couple of the boys came to Aron for the oil. They took a few used pop bottles and punched 3-4 holes in the cap, then filled them with oil and entered the pig pen to squirt them down. Of course Aron had to join in. He even got me to take photos of the event. See what I mean, sickos!
One of the girls, Diana, is leaving for Canada tomorrow. She will be going to Waterloo, Ontario to take English. She is currently a supervisor of one of the girls dorms and helps in leadership of laundry and kitchen. I am going to miss her. She was our original teacher of Spanish but had to stop in preparation to leave and now Ginger has been helping us in the language.
As a going away event, Diana and the girls made a mud pit on the outer edges of the property. They had a blast with various games and just getting muddy. Also the kids will be attending a Christian camp the last week of the month. I can hardly believe it is almost time for school to start back.
The blocks on the school roof are now in place and the rebar is all being tied down. The concrete is reserved to be poured on Friday. God has answered our prayer and a donation has come in to finish the school and also we are getting a new water truck. the one we currently have is 30 years old and breaks down often.
