Connections.

We have some visitors here from the states so we set out to work since we have some good help. We have still been working on the kitchen and this week we got to pour the first 1/5 of the foundation. We mixed 10 loads of concrete in the mixer and got it done. It is coming right along. We also got a donation from the Life church group that works in the same area that we do for our kitchen. They donated a commercial fridge and sink that they weren't using that were originally at a Denny's somewhere. We are pumped to have such nice things to start out with.

Yesterday we held a clinic in a town about 2 hours away called Campamento. Two doctors doing their residencies at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital have been here and did the clinic at a daycare for the kids there. The kids were really cute. Most of them were from very poor families and the daycare run by a christian organization gives the parents an opportunity to work, and the kids an opportunity to be cared for and have two meals a day. It was a neat program to see. The director, Bob Wilkenson, just happened to have been the first preacher at 29th and Yale in Tulsa and knew our HIM directors from working in Germany with them. Small world. Neat connections.

Last night in bible class we set a "record" with 39 in my class and 40 in Amber's class. Teaching has been going well, and its fun to get cute kisses from the kids after class is over.

It looks like we'll be coming to the States Feb. 10-19ish. We are really excited to see everyone.

I just thought I'd throw a picture of Ranger on here. We like him, he's getting to be big and fun.
