we were in Candelaria almsot all day...Tommy, Linda, and Oscar had a meeting from 1-3 with Pastor Jose and his wife Bonita...during this time Scarleth and I were working on our project of getting all the kids full names (first, second, 2 last names) they use both parents last names...along with age.
This is to make attendance for both Sunday School and Friday night youth...as Scarleth got the names i was taking headshots for the future excel document of faces, names, age, and more information soon...we got a lot of that done past 2 days...but some kids arent always there during the week with school and work, so this list will probably continue to grow..Praise God for that!
After this Tommy had his usual W/Th/F 3-5 leadership meeting with the 12 pastors and Scarleth and Linda talked with small business goat owners and gardeners while I setup the
laptop and projectors for our 6 o'clock movie...I finished that and played outside as it cooled off up until 6..baseball and duck duck goose mostly.
We had announced Sunday that we would have a movie Thursday night at 6..but the turn out wasnt many at 6...we waited to 6:30 to start it and it was darker so both projectors showed up better...Tommy's projector, NewSong's rather, is brand new and very powerful, the picture is much brighter than mine because 1-I need a new bulb and 2-his is just newer and better-more lumens etc...but it was nice having both because by 7 we had over 150 people there
We showed Bee Movie, Dreamworks newest computer animated movie...completely in Spanish with no subtitiles...so Tommy, Linda, and I kinda just watched and caught the gist of the movie, but everyone else loved it..There might have been 200 there by the end I'm not really sure, but we ran out of chairs, benches, and tables so people were standing and sittin on the 18 inch wall cement across the back of the church
We want to do these more often..especially when I get more of my DVDs here...most of them are in English with Spanish subtitles but not everyone here can read nor would they want to if i can find good movies in Spanish audio
Tommorrow will be busy as well...going out abotu 12:30 with activties all day followed by youth Friday night...2nd week of this..and Tommy and I will both be teaching ATTITUDE along with praise band, games, video and picture highlights from this past week.
Project Leo is going, but I am hoping for some support...It took $400 to get him to Dominican Republic and then another $100 today for him to get is Visa changed to 5-10
years rather than the 60 day he had...he thinks he might be back as early as 3 weeks..so i will be getting him back as well...if you feel led to help Project Leo ..PLEASE tag checks to project leo! He has been working for 3 months for free with the baseball team, and we need him back so bad to continue helping those boys with baseball, discpline, and their walk with Christ!

Saturday our first 2 people come as part of our 25 people in 60 days..Paul and Benjamin Rexroth- father and son from midwest USA i want to say Missouri...they plan to help with construction, music, youth and I am sure much more!
