Pictures from Rio Florido and other villages

I don't have too many pictures as my camera is not working too well. Thanks for posting your pix Uncle Lee they are great. I thought I would include a few more...I'll make 2 posts as I don't know how to post more than 5 at a time.
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!
