The group arrived, and we got home last night around 1:30 am. Then today, it was a long day.
I went to get the mats from Ganesha, the gymnastics school who is loaning them to us. We arrived at the church to set up, then we attended one of the services. After the service, the group invited all the young people of the church to stay and watch. There were about 50 of them. Then we had a good old Mexican “taquiza” with all sorts of tacos. After that, Ken and I went to Home Depot and bought more boards for the team. We also went to pick up some more mats. Then we ate at Italianis. Not a bad first day. I’m sunburnt. Nathan’s sunburnt. Janell is sunburnt. And we’re all tired.
The group is late (that’s usual). They are now going to arrive at 11 pm. Makes for a long night.
Tonight, the group from Boca Raton arrives for their mission trip. We have been working hard and are ready to receive them. The leadership team from the church has done a great job to put together the schedule, and I think it’s going to be a great week.
I went today to buy some supplies for tomorrow’s presentation at the church. I hope I got the right stuff so that tomorrow will go smoothly. I have to go early to the gymnastics school to pick up the mats before church. Please pray for this coming week. It’s going to be a lot of work, but hopefully a great time, too.
March Madness is consuming me. I remember March Madness when I was growing up, filling out the brackets, and watching basketball all day. Living in Mexico, it has been a little different because they don’t cover as many games as they do in the States. But this year, they’ve rolled out this thing called March Madness on Demand. They are streaming every game of the first few rounds. So, we hooked up the computer to a projector and projected the games on the wall yesterday. It was awesome, baby! (Dick Vital reference). It’s a great service…you should check it out. Don’t worry, it is in no way affecting my work.
