We used the Mercedes van/bus that Freddy drives to go to Santa Matidle today...Scarleth, Linda, myself....then 6 from Charlotte with thier 2 translators (Laura/David) Paul and Ben from Indiana their translator (Enrique) and we picked up Yaidah on the way as well...Tommy had day off to catch up on US contact and Leon things and Oscar did financial things around Leon
The Independence Hills team is buying 3 acres for a church for Pastor Walter..it will also have room for playround and sports fields the land costs $8000...they are also working to raise funds to feed the widows of the village and building houses...a house that was just frames when we arrived at 10 today was finished before we left at 3
Paul looked at probably 40 plus people with different aches &
pains, and general questions about health..Ben and Lori hepled passout the prescriptions he announced after each patient's visit..during that time i tlaked with Carmen, mother of 2 girls that is getting married by Tommy along with 5 other Santa Matilde couples this coming Thursday..She is the head of Sunday school at SM and also trying to get more youth members coming to our Friday events at Candelaria.
This afternoon Ben and I played a full field soccer game with about 16 boys ages 8-19 and had a good time while the older members of the group went and visited other land and homes.
We took the van out with everyone to the beach for sunset and seafood...had shrimp again but didnt complain, Paul and Ben dont mind going back either because being form Indiana they have only been to the beach a couple times..and even that was just SC beaches..nothing on the waves and freedom here.
Same plans tommorrow, but Tommy Linda and I will all go to Candelaria about 12-4:30 then come back through Santa Matilde and scoop the rest before coming to Leon.
