Manitoba Team

Sorry about the lack of blogging this month. We have simple been overwhelmed with three sets of guests and two missions teams and all this in addition to our regular taking kids to school and doing other home duties. We had the team from Manitoba come and do some tile laying and they did a great job! They tiled the remaining six matrimonial dorm rooms and the stairs leading out of all eight rooms. They were very fast and did great quality work. We did the usual tourist days with them as well. Saturday, Moises took them to the artisans' market and the basilica. Sunday after church we all went to the pyramids along with our guests from Alberta; Warren, Wanda and their daughter Shyla. The team was efficient and each man was given a job to do. I took the opportunity to be with Moises to purchase materials and clean out the green storage shed that had been accumulating stuff for quite sometime. Since there is no garbage disposal network like in the U.S. or Canada, we burn what we can and then we call in a local business that has a truck to remove the rest. On the Saturday night the Ruizes and ourselves went to a married couples' supper at Christ Lives Bible Church. We had to leave the kids at the camp with the Manitoba team. We had the younger kids get into their pajamas early and put Brittany in charge to ensure that: 1. The kids were in bed at 8:30 p.m. and 2. that they would not be trouble for the men..."Give them lots of space." I said. When we came home at around midnight, the kids were in bed and sleeping. All looked well, but someone stole my camera and took a lot of pictures that night of the kids playing soccer and other games with the Manitoba team...according to the digital memory... long after they were to be in bed! They all had fun from the sound of it and we were grateful for the babysitting. The Manitoba team left here where the weather has been getting to 32*C everyday and returned, to my understanding, to cold and snow.
