Not just another smoggy morning


This morning we woke up to the sound of sirens and helicopters near our house. We looked outside to see that across the valley there was a warehouse on fire. I don't know what is stored in the warehouse but I'm grateful the wind was pushing the smoke away from us. There are no fire hydrants here so the bomberos (firefighters) use tanker trucks in much the same way many rural fire departments do in the US and Canada.

Today is a bit of a work day for all of us. Marcel has to speak briefly in church tomorrow so he has to continue to prepare what he has to say today. After church we are going to the camp. We found some tiles that may match the new paint put on by the Hamilton team so we want to check-it-out before we make the tile purchase. Thus, the girls have to finish their homework today. A team from Parma Heights in Ohio joins us this week and we are looking forward to all the work that they will be doing. The dormitory rooms are coming together and hopefully soon we will hear of more work teams that will come to help complete the camp.

That is a huge moth. We saw one when we were in Brazil. I'm sure there are alot of larger bugs in Mexico than in Alberta. Keep up the great blogs.

We received your prayer letter today and enjoyed reading about your summer and all that God is doing in your lives. Can you believe that only a year ago, we were in the midst of memorizing dialogues? Saludos de Chile! -Pedro & Stephanie
