Parents, please be assured your children are safe and doing very well. They are well protected and we never eat anything that the missionaries who live here don't clear first. When we travel, we are always as one big group and currently, everyone is healthy and doing great. Austin took a nap this afternoon and is back to eating everyone else's food. This afternnon we went to the market with our interpretors and missionaries to purchase food with the money we collected from everyone on the team. Webought 9 one hundred pound bags of rice and 9 100 pounds bags of beans. Once again, the hard working farm kids stepped up and dominated the scene. Each kid just flipped a 100 pound bag on their shoulder and we walked the 4blocks in the hot humidity back to the hotel to deposit the rice. Then we went back to the market to get the beans and did the same thing. The teams from the city were simply in awe that we could do that. All of us hauled a bag even Karissa and I. Tonight we will repack the rice and beans into 10 pound bags so we can distribute it to the poor people in the village we are going to on Friday. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon at a church service in La Quinta. It was really fun. Tomorrow is our free day. Rumor has it that we will be going to a volcano, the town of Grenada for some gorgeous scenery near the ocean and then to the market. We are looking forward to that day. should be really fun. I´ll keep your children safe and do my best to keep them healthy. They are awesome, hard working, godly and it is my great privilege and blessing to be able to work with them. I wish you could see them. You would be so amazed and proud of what incredible teenagers they are. I deeply love each one of them. Talk to you tomorrow.
