Report for Monday January 26th 2009
Hola from hot Chile,
T0day we sweated and got sunburned. The chica’s and Tia’s had a grand day
with the donations brought down, riding bikes most of the day and helping us out on projects that were safe to do. Kyleigh and Anika worked really hard today with scrubbing, sanding, sealing and painting of doors and murals. Jeff, Dan and Felipe finished up the roof soffits from last year on the health directors house – it just needs a second coat of white trim in a few spots; Jeff and Dan had to real creative with making some of the pieces fit while Felipe was busing rolling out the paint and getting the trim painted. Ruth and Sue got to hand out the donation goodies and play with the chica’s. Sue and Ruth also helped with the sanding and painting. Once Felipe got caught up with painting – soffits were still being fitted, he helped Gary and Carli, trim out the diseased and dead wood up by the old dormitory building. We only bounced a little bit of the tree off of the building and Felipe got to play with the chainsaw on the downed limbs. Sue was nearby albeit inside the building we tapped. A whole lot of sawdust was generated between the table saw, circular saw and chainsaw today.
Tonight most of us got a little goofy – I had forgotten what teenage girls can get like when they get a bit tired! We walked to the grocery store to get some ice cream, but they must have closed when they saw us skipping down the sidewalk. Bonnie Hudlet works for LAM as photographer/videographer
– she creates all the media content used by Latin American Mission both for the individual missionaries of LAM and the overall ministry itself. She has been so much fun to have around and she has some really cool cameras. No, it is not time to upgrade my camera Mimi. Today has a lot more pictures than normal as she was nice enough to let us have copies of today’s shots. Yeah Bonnie!
Thank you for all the emails sent to us and I made a mistake in CHWT email address. The correct one is chwt@redeemercovenant.org. – no period between redeemer and covenant. Please feel free to send us messages any chance you get.
