June 19
Today we:
painted, mowed grass with hedge shears, dug trenches, worked
on van brakes, went over our crafts and games for tomorrow, harvested chicken
eggs and enjoyed the company of Victor and Leti who live at and run the
facility (Trigo-y- Miel, “wheat and honey”) at which we are working. They treated us to a wonderful lunch of
rice, meat and potato stew, quesadillas with jalepeno peppers and fruit
tea. We got to hear the
testimonies of Ben E., Shellie S. (a team member from the AoG church in
Estacada) and Emma T. shared their testimonies. There were tears of fellowship as each one described how
they came to Christ and what this trip meant to them. Then back to work. Later this afternoon we just beat a
heavy thunderstorm as we climbed into the van to head back to our base. As we are all cleaned up, we are headed
out to dinner on the town. Yum!
Downtown Oaxaca is like any other modern city, a bit
European and very active around dinner time. We gathered at El Meson for dinner after a short walk around
the “zocalo” or town square. In
the zocalo was live music, stands to buy trinkets and many people gathered to
just people watch.
Pictures are hard to load…I will get them as I can. Stay
tuned.
