Tuesday

Tuesday morning we had our Youth Bible Study, and Itzel brought soft drinks and bread. She said she just wanted to bless the group, and it really made me happy. I wish so badly others of the youth could see her example and follow it, rather than be jealous of her when she gets blessed for walking out her Christianity. In the afternoon about 20 of us biked 20-30 minutes back behind the church property and Quitanka to a place called La Presa. It is a river with a dam that allows for about a 30-foot deep swimming hole. We swam for about 2 hours in very cold water, which helped us beat the afternoon heat. We came back and I helped Bismark, Wilmor, and Ernesto finish digging the septic tank for the house and future public/church bathrooms. I spent time Tuesday night visiting with Cony and Jessica and watched Jurassic Park at their house. I got a mattress on the floor of one of the clinic rooms to sleep without mosquitoes now.
