Tropical storm just south of us...lots and lots of rain this morning and early afternoon. The dining room had 2 inches of standing water this morning. School was cancelled today because of the rain and flooding.
Due to the rain, we couldn't do much this morning. Robin arrived this afternoon. I brought 2 girls and 2 boys with me to the airport to pick her up...talk about a big smile when she saw who was there to meet her!! The kids were excited because it was their first time at the airport or perhaps going that far away from the home and Robin really enjoyed seeing the kids right away!!!
We we returned, Candi (the Director), left with the other van with the rest of our group (except for Jackie) and one of the older boys to head to Home Depot for more supplies. (I guess they had the idea that I didn't want to go there today?!? I wonder where they got that idea??) I put Christian to work along with some other kids picking up burnable yardwaste that Jackie had raked up around the yard. That's when Jackie got a great idea about since I had a truck why not load up and haul off all the "junk"...and we're talking about metal dump type garbage.....we had a bunch of kids load up the truck and I drove off to the dump 2 times this afternoon!! It was GREAT FUN!! On the way home the first time, the boys were in the back of the truck singing songs (it was like we had just gone to Disneyland!!!) When we returned people starting taking our photos!! It was GREAT for their egos!!!!
The rest of the group worked on another project at Candi's home...they are building an awning off the side of her kitchen. We did have a couple of the older kids paint the 2 x 4 x 10 we purchased.
Well, hopefully tomorrow will be better weather. Kurt and Bill said no matter what the cement we did from Monday will be "dry" so we will be working on the fence...and in the afternoon when the kids get home from school we'll take them to the beach and have a pizza party afterwards...for those of you who have been down to Casa Hogar..sound familiar??? Yes...that was Eric's idea!! He said it was a CUMC Mexico Misson Trip Tradition and we couldn't break it!!!
I'm exhausted so, I'll sign off now...all is well. Most people go to bed when it gets dark (around 8pm).
Continue to keep us in your prayers.
