Yesterday, was a long day. We were up before the sun rose to get the kids ready for school. Ingrid had to go to university for Spanish classes and I was off with Moises to Acolman. As the sun rose, I took these photos of the volcanoes back lit by the sun. The volcanoe "Popo" is letting off a little steam. It had a huge day long explosion a few weeks ago when we were in Mazatlan. Today, Moises was showing me where to pay the taxes and the water bills for the Retreat Centre, where I was to stand in line, what to say and where and when to get photocopies of documents. From there it was off to the Centre to see the work that Celestino and his son had accomplished on the electrical system. Let me just say, when the sun goes down and the lights are turned on at the centre, it looks incredible in the courtyard! Moises and I changed some panes of glass on the workshop and I began taking an inventory of what jobs need to be done by Gateway teams this summer. Sadly, we have more work than teams for this summer. We need a minimum of four or five teams every summer but we only have two scheduled for this year. This is going to put us at a distinct disadvantage as we are a small team and highly dependent on missions teams (please pray for missions teams to join us this summer). From there it was off to the church to have a leadership meeting and hear if Fransisco and Adriana would accept the position of pastor of the church. They declined for several reasons. We can't tell you how devastated we are. We were all set to let the church be on its own and begin concentrating on church planting on the northwest side of the city. Those plans are delayed yet again...likely for months. What to do...What to do?
