We Made It!
We left early this morning (6 am flight), but I was glad we got to spend the whole day here. We got acclamated to our new surroundings and took an amazing siesta in our new hammocks. I'm astonished by how much has changed here in just over a year. Leona Vicario seems much busier. There are new houses, and many existing houses have improvements made to them. The mission house is also much improved - tile upstairs, paving stones around the perimeter, new plants and flowers. Lots of work has been done on the school since we were last here, too. The foundation has been laid for the rooms we'll construct this week (thank you First Foundation!) William told us these rooms will later serve as offices for the school. The YPM staff is gracious and friendly as always. It is so good to see them all again. My Spanish hasn't come back yet, but I think I improved even today. We are ready to get to work tomorrow, excited about what we'll be able to accomplish this week!

Thinking of you and praying for an awesome week of construction, serving and being served by the people in Leona. I'm glad I have a clear picture of where you're working, but wish I'd stayed so I could be there with you all
ReplyDeleteI'll post a my photos of the construction site and a link to them for all of use at home to see.
Give my love to Erly, William, Teri and Mary. Hope Mary is recovered from her Chicken Pox.
Love and Blessings,
Diane
