Misc. Recent Shots from Bocachica

Movie night with Plan Padrino kids...we have a really big screen and the kids loved it! They watched Herbie Fully Loaded. We also hosted a movie night for the parents and showed Fireproof.

The Latest in Bocachica

Here´s an overview of what has been going on in Bocachica the last few weeks...not necessarily in this order:

BASKETBALL WORKSHOP

A last-minute contact brought a basketball team from the USA to do a one-day workshop with the kids in Bocachica.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

For those of you who didn´t know, our new staffer, Guillermo (from Brazil/Chile) is a Physical Therapist and God is using his profession to help the people in Bocachica. What an incredible blessing it is for the them to have this opportunity right on thier door-step!

BUTTERFLY WORKSHOP

Yolanda is back doing her decorating workshops with the local ladies...this time they are making butterflies.

YWAM SWITZERLAND TEAM

We had a DTS outreach team from the YWAM base in Lausanne, Switzerland with us this month. There were 11 of them but none of them were Swiss...we had 1 Brit and 10 Koreans. They did all kinds of activities with the kids, youth and elderly.

CHILD SPONSORSHIP

Last month was the beginning of the second semester of the local school and our staff girls got together school supply packets to hand out to the kids in our sponsorship program.

KID´S STUFF

Every Thursday night during our cell group meeting Pili and Josefina take the kids out for an age appropriate activity while the youth and adults stay to hear the teaching. They usually really have their hands full but they are very gifted to work with kids and it´s a blessing to have them!

CLINIC PROGRESS

Last week we took down all the scaffoldings and supports (I don´t know the correct terms in English so I hope you know what I am talking about) from building the concrete roof on the second wing of the clinic.

MISSION IMPROVEMENTS

Samy and Guillermo built a few new sidewalks in the mission, just in time for the rainy season when things get muddy and yucky!

The Minnesota Team

This past week we hosted a team from North Heights Lutheran Church from Arden Hills, Minnesota.

We had a great time with the Minnesota team this past week! A great group...worked hard, wonderful attitudes, well-prepared, generous, etc... lots of good stuff to say about them!

Bathing and playing in the rain.

The first couple of days the team arrived our cistern was dry so the rain was a welcome sight! Thank the Lord, the water barge came the next day and filled us up!
