Wednesday brings a full plate of activity for the team. The medical/dental teams left immediately following breakfast for a full day at Ecatzingo. They were quite busy. Prayers were answered that the portable dental unit worked well (thanks in part to WD 40!). The VBS team was busy with a large group of eager kids in the morning at Ozumba and a roomful (12 X 12) in Ecatzingo.......15 kids and 6 adults!
Construction started the morning on a variety of projects. Demolition debris was loaded in to a pick up and hauled to Jorge´s brother´s new home site for fill. Two sided of the churach and fellowship hall were scraped, preped and mostly painted. Demolition continued on the walls and floor of the old nursery/church office to make room for the new stairs to the second floor. We had a slight construction accident when a bick from the neighbor´s abutting wall dislodged and landed in their home. Now we are a little more careful swinging the sledge hammer. Spirts are still high.
The high point of the day came when we were visited by the Bishop after lunch. He thanked us ( the go-ers...team...and the senders.....our churches) for our love and support of our brothers and sisters here in Mexico. He shared some history of the Methodist church and Christianity in Mexico, prayed with us and it was back to work.
Tommorow brings a full day of work, a special dinner and farewell, and a special closing service for the team. I will have one more entry tomorrow then you will see us in church Sunday!
