Our weekends were all spent differently,
since we live in different spots, but some highlights included 1) for Barb and
Stephanie a ladies Bible retreat and then up a mountain for trout fishing and
fresh trout dinner; 2) for Madison and Camille, an evening worship service on
Saturday and then on to Los Sueños resort at the beach; 3) for me, all day
working on my master’s thesis, with an evening break at a great Chinese
restaurant, and on Sunday, I grabbed the bus again, and made my way to Iglesia
Bautista Vida Nueva, where I enjoyed services with my church family from the
four years we lived here. What a blessing!
Now it’s back to work for all of us. We’re back into the “bodega”
room –the one with over 3000 used-to-be-unsorted books. Last week we worked on
pulling out books for the special collections room (and in there, we are now
well past 1020 books, cleaned, organized, and shelved). Monday and Tuesday of
this week, we are sorting through the others which we have already separated
into processed and unprocessed. Now with those processed, we are getting those
in order and ready for Tattiana to go through for catalog checking and
correcting. Very busy we are… and dirty. |

Today is a sad day for us in a way. Today we have to say
goodbye to Maddie, who leaves earlier than the rest of us. With her spunky
spirit and strong hard work, Madison has been a blessing to us all. She has
left special marks on hearts of those around her: bringing a spark of play and especially
of love to her team members and to those with whom she visits and stays.
