Update

Hi Everybody

Its been about 2 weeks since the last post... It´s really hard to try and find time to do this. We have so much work on. We sometimes wonder if we have een given too much, but it all seems to work out in the end. We run three church workshops a week, one for crafts, one for dance choreography an done for English (at two difficulty levels). We have three workshops at Minimundo´s, a very well equipped private kindergarten - we do wonder wether God wants us there, considering how weatlthy the families who can afford to send their kids there, but who knows what seeds we are sowing there, as we are the 0nly christain christain contact they get. We also have our perment youth service on Friday nights, which seems to be the churches premier evangelical outreach, and it´s certainly the most enjoyable thing we plan for - this Friday invloved getting jelly everywhere, and water balloons (to tell the story of the woman caught in adultery of course).

Saturdays have continued to be our days in our seperate countryside communities. It´s probably the toughest thing we do (at least for me it is), as many of us can´t fall back on the Spanish skills of other team members. I find it really difficult being in charge of the little kids (at least the older ones have some idea of what you are trying to say and help you - the little ones just stare at you and dribble) and trying to get them to colour, paint, stick and teach a song...

We ate our first guinea pig last week too. It wasnt that great.
