The kids got to go to Vacation Bible School here in Madera this week at the Baptist church. They enjoyed it a lot and made some new friends in the process.
A few snazzy pics of the digs here of late ....
We recently invested some money in building materials and I am spending time as I can doing some work on the church building where our church meets.
Some people from Hockinson Community Church will recognize this as the building we built 4 years ago, with an addition. We are in the process of adding on a bathroom / shower, and getting this ready for a married couple who work here to live in.
The laundry room here. The two new washers are brand new as of about three weeks ago.
This morning I spent part of my time fixing a leg on one of the sofas here, and also connecting the stovepipe for the small woodstove seen here. The sofas and chairs seen here arrived a week or so ago and are a huge addition.

Faith: I asked about you in May at the Interaction Office. I talked to Greg and also to Sofia. I was on a trip to Barrancas de Cobre. So glad you and Alan and kids made it back to Madera as you said you wanted to go back. Doing God's work is a challenge and I'm sure you are needed. I went to Oaxaca with NMHU to study Spanish for 2 wks. in June. Our mission group is leaving for Juarez but I'm not going this year. We built 8 church benches and taught VBS to about 50-60 kids a day last year. I am making bags--about 8 of us are sending 200 bags to use with VBS. I will let Betty know I found an update for you. My e-mail addrss is showmerosa@yahoo.com. Hope you remember when Betty and I visited your home in Chih.--you lived over by an elem. school. We are from Deming and Las Vegas, NM> My son is an attorney in private practice in Las Cruces now so I go down occasionally. Keep in touch. Rosie
