After arriving on Sunday, we took Ron and Karen to our Sunday School party at Calvin and Marge Bentsen's ranch.  We drove around looking at all the exotic animals they have and then

came in for a catered dinner.  A great time was had by all. 

                                 It was like we were back in Zimbabwe...but no elephants or lions which suited me just fine.

                                                                                       Karen and I joined up with another Sunday school class that was touring the

                                                                                Methodist Church in Nuevo Progresso.  We visited with Pastor Ruben and toured

                                                                       the P.E.T. facility, his church and a new school he has begun to build with American      

                                                                          groups.  We shared lunch at Angel's and did some Christmas shopping before heading

                                                                                           back. 

Ron and Jorge's major project this year was to wire the Memorial All-Purpose Building

                               Karen spent her time shopping for shoes, packing plastic shoe boxes with toys and preparing our

                                                                                              Pastoral Care baskets of food. 

                                              Ron and Jorge also layed out the piping for the bathroom and Jorge started

                                                                   mixing cement and pouring the floor when they left.
