Here is my little tiny class room. There is one more student in there too. Hip hip hurray we voted to start our building program and the first steps have been taken and we are waiting on plans. It will be wonderful to not have to break down my room.... we do on Wednesday night and Friday and set up on Tuesday. This room is actually the nursery.

Ok here is bigger. You can't see Wade. We have to put a riser on the risers for him. He is the only one who is not a teen. you can see his arm between the first two girls on the right. Cody is there too on the top. There were a few missing here....oh and that is my head with the red sweater.
This is the church in the morning before the roof was poured. About 30 men came from the Petapixca church to helpout. They arrived in the middle of the night and slept on the ground and in trucks...wherever they could find a spot, worked 14 hours and rode in the back of a pick-up for 2 hours, arrived home around 1 the next morning! True servants!
This is our host home, a bit nicer than my dad's and Uncle Lee's. This is also a store, our room is to the right ( you can't see it), our "shower" is to the left. The outhouse which was completed on Monday is up the hill to the left of the house. It was complete with a wooden seat!
The area was beautiful but the pictures don't show that too well.
This is up a very steep hill from the church. The site was beautiful and worth the climb. These people must have some strong leg muscles!
This is Tambaque where we enjoyed a little R&R before heading home.
This 1st picture is in the village of Petapixca, this is a purposed site for a future trip. There seem to be a lot of believers, but are in need of a church building. The boy in the make shift cradle is Juan, he is 6 years old and is disabled and unable to speak. It was very sad to see him!
This is the church in Rio Florido. The timbers are used to hold the planks of wood in order to pour the roof.
These are 2 piglets in the middle of the path...how cute!
This is where the church in Rio Florido has been meeting. the church and Pastor's home burned down 18 months ago (the next day the Pastor's wife gave birth to their 3rd child). They salvaged as much as they could and built this interim church building.
This is the Pastor's wife and 2 sons of the church in Xochiquatla. They have 5 sons and lost premature twins 2 years ago. Last time we saw her she had no front teeth. My dad (and team) built these pews on his last trip. It was good to go back and see the completed building!
