The church here at Pan de Vida just recently celebrated it's 13 year Anniversary. It started with about 15 kids and a few adults in the home. Now attendance is about 130-150. There are about 115 kids and the rest are volunteers and others from the local community who attend. We currently have the church services in the dining hall and are quickly out growing it. A few of the girls here are taking music lessons and we now have a worship band. A set of drums was donated and Jessie plays them. The first time they were used was for the anniversary service. The walls are up on the auditorium and now we are waiting for funding to put the roof on then finish the stucco and inside. There are so many details in building for sure. It is great to see how God is using Pan de Vida to serve others. A few families from surrounding communities not only come to church but also send their kids here to school so they can get a Christian education.
One of the girls here comes because of her Grandmother. She was sent home with a reading assignment and needed to do an essay. The reading was from one of the books of the Bible. Her mother, who is not a Christian, was helping her with the assignment and is now reading the Bible with her. The mother questioned the material at first but is now open to learning. It is great to see how God can use His word to teach.

Augustine made mole(mo-lay) which is a very popular meal here and is a lot of work to make. The sauce requires several ingredients so it is served on special occasions.
