More news from Papalote

We successfully uploaded some pictures to our Facebook page, check it out here.

We are busy working at the Bible Institute and getting ready at various construction sites to pour concrete. Today the women visited a woman who needed her property cleaned and medical attention for her children. We may return tomorrow.

We also visited the dump site. Seeing the dump and helping clean the woman´s property was eye opening for us. It is hard to see people living in such poverty. What´s special about Mexico is that Jesus represents for some their only and greatest hope out of such extreme situations, whether it´s poverty, abuse or physical pain.

We are learning a lot about Don and Ilene´s mission in Papalote and beyond. Ilene shares her skills as a nurse with many. They are training and sending missionaries to Oaxaca, which is where many people in Papalote originate. The Oaxacans are part of Mexico´s indigenous population and are best reached by their own people.

Lots of fun with the children, including soccer, ice cream, crafts and a homemade swing in the back of Bob Croff´s truck. The kids found his ropes and tied them together to make a big swing. Maybe we´ll get pictures of that, too.

Miss you all. We covet your prayers.
