Bacon and eggs for breakfast, grab our gear and away we went. The day started off cloudy and cool and looked like it could rain. By noon, the sky had cleared and the sun shone. We started putting up the tin on Pastor Raphael's church in Fatima on Saturday and today we finished it. The hours of the day sped by. Before we knew it, Brenda and her crew arrived with lunch. Enchiladas, spanish rice and beans. I love Mexican food. We had cookies for dessert but I saved mine for mid-afternoon when I knew I'd need a snack. My job was to hand the sheets of styrofoam up to the men who placed it under the tin. I've been told this is to help lessen the echoing and also to keep out the heat. I've been given the nickname "styrofoam wrangler". I love it.
We quit work when all the tin was up and we headed back to San Carlos to shower and have some supper.
Quesadillas, macaroni salad and soup. After supper, we sat in the "palapa" (cabana with a grass roof) and sang a couple of songs, prayed and did some sharing about our favorite part of the day. I cannot pinpoint any one thing that stood out (other than my new nickname), Every moment spent in the company of this team and the people of Mexico is precious. It is "muy bueno."
God bless you all. See you soon.
