End of the week

Another week is coming to an end. It has been a busy week for us and this weekend will be even busier doing what we have worked on all week. As you can see Pedro is finished. I have to tell you that a friend wrote mentioning my monkey puppet! Sorry but it is a boy. He even has a shepherd outfit to wear.

Cal has worked on a workbench for Larry in his little work shop. The picture shows the almost finished bench. However I forgot to take a picture of the log slabs that the top started out as. Cal had to be creative to cut off the bark and straighten out the sides. But it looks pretty good now.

We had a little excitement this afternoon. Larry went to hose out the back of the truck and found we did not have water. The guys had told him they were going to clean out the water tanks tomorrow because the tanks were filled with frogs and hornets. But they had started to drain the one tank today and we did not realize it. Larry got up there and found this hornets nest inside the top of one tank and dead hornets all over the bottom. There were several frogs in the tanks too. A couple of the guys helped Larry get the frogs out and cleaned the tanks. We had to wait about an hour to get the water back. Larry got some black plastic to cover the top of the tank before putting the lid on. Guess the guys will work on that tomorrow. Makes you wonder what the water has been like we have been bathing in. We are all well! Fay and I decided this was another reason to be glad we drink bottled water.

Tomorrow morning early we leave for Aquiduana where Fay and I will give a workshop on puppets and later on costumes for dramas. I would covet your prayers as we do this. We have a lady who will help translate. However since I did not know I was going to be doing this before I came down here, I don't feel as prepared as I could be. So the Lord will have to help us through it all.

On Sunday morning we leave early again and go to Anastocio to their morning service. I will do a workshop with about 10 people who are interested in illustrating Bible stories. I really feel unprepared for this one. It is one thing to do the pictures myself but a differnt matter to show someone else how to do it. So please pray.

Cal was suppose to talk to the leaders of this church about ministries our church has but that workshop has been postponed. He is preaching at this church in the evening for 1/2 an hour before communion. He is prepared he says but pray that what he says will be understood and used of the Lord.

Well that is about all for today. Larry went to a graduation service tonight for students in his seminary classes. Cal and Fay want to eat so I will close for tonight. Have a good weekend everyone.
