Garden Well & Bodega Lights

A man from Okalahoma in Nicaragua digging wells and he did one for Newsong for free, the labor and all the supplies. What a blessing! His name is Mickey Moore, a businessman who is with Rotary International who spends 3 months a year down here serving the poor. This was the 103 well that he has dug. He donated the electric pump. May God bless him and the Rotary Club for their service. The people here are rejoicing as it was a hard job to water the garden! The pump well will still be used for drinking and the church, but this electric pump supplies the garden with an 80 meter hose.

While they were working on that Alfredo and I put more lights in the storage area...We added 2 light switches one for the 4 bulbs in the bodega and the other to keep 3 bulbs on at night around the outside. Ariel helped again and 2 more 15 year old bos helped some, and watched. To me the interest of those young boys to learn the skill is as rewarding as getting the lights up for the gardeners, sewers, and others that use the bodega.

We also stopped by Chichigalpa to see Pastor Gilberto. Kevin Bacon was with us and his church, Steele Creek in Charlotte is who paid for the roof on his church about a year ago. He had seen pictures but was happy to get some pictures and videos to take back to his church and interview Gilberto, and the joy of seeing it all in real life.

On the way home we sat at a stand still about halfway home because a sugar cane truck flipped on its side. We were back from the accident at least 1000 meters and traffic was stopped in both directions for at least an hour. We did make it back and i worked on some things for Friday night youth group.

Tommy and Linda are taking the Bacons back to the airport and then picking up their daughter and 2 friends so it will be on Scarleth, Oscar, Leo, and I to do all the youth stuff...and we will be using public transportation.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
