Our day today started out with a special experience - a skype conversation / telecast with Sherry and then she was able to join our devotional led by Pedro. Seemed like old times. Sherry closed us in prayer, lifting up the border crossing of the materials.
We went to get our permits and everything went well until it came time to get the vehicle permits. No one in that office spoke English. There was another lady that came in to get a permit that spoke English, I asked her to help translate and she spent a good bit of time getting us through the process. I asked her if she could help with translating for declaring our supplies. We went to another office and she acted as our representative before the officials. They looked hard at our list of supplies and searched some boxes. The man was very nice and said everything was in order. He called ahead to the next checkpoint and notified them everything was OK. He said the lists were very important (thank you Sherry for being so diligent in this). They checked the list very carefully at the next checkpoint and let us through. Praise God for another demonstration of His provision. It was no circumstance the lady (our angel) was there to help.
Pedro wanted to start the medical clinic early so we could see more people so we arrived in Agualeguas about 3:00 P.M. It had to be 107-110 degrees. It was HOT!!! By the time we got everything unloaded and set up we were worn out. We had VBS, day care, women's ministry, medical clinic, and the construction team installed one new vanity in Pedro's bath and started on Daniel's roof. It was very tiring, getting back from Agualeguas about 8:00 P.M. It was also very rewarding seeing peoples needs met. They are very appreciative of what we are doing. Please continue to pray for our well being in handling the heat. Maria is cooking a special breakfast for us tomorrow. Missy volunteered to help until she said she would start at 5:00 A.M. We look forward to what God has planned for tomorrow.
Dios escucha!

My picture was printed without permission--early morning, swollen eyes, and no makeup! On second thought, that's how I look when I'm in Guerrero anyway!
I enjoy reading your blog. Please continue to keep us updated because we are concerned and encouraged with what you are doing. Praying for you.
