Forgive me for not updating the blog for so long! I kept waiting to get my camera back from a friend who barrowed it, so I can post some really old pictures of a quincinera (15th birthday party), but haven't gotten it back.

In the month of May, we had a team from Trinity Western University come and live in Los Higos. The only picture I have of them is this tiny one that I copied off of one of their Facebook pages. The team lived with host families and worked in the preschool, the women's center and the club.

Last fall, when Andre left SI to begin full-time ministry in the church, under Mission Door, the club became a church ministry (rather than an SI ministry). The club has met once or twice a week since then, because Andre has had many other new responsabilities as pastor. This summer, however, SI is using the club as 'partner ministry', which means that the club isn't an SI ministry, but we will be sending students to work there when we have teams. So, two TWU students worked with the club (which is meeting 5 days a week during the summer). And an intern, Josh, has come down to work with the club for the rest of the summer, along with whichever students might come down on two-week teams.

In other random news, our sewing class got their first 'job'- take make 10 bags to sell in a local art gallery. Fire ants have moved into my worm composting area and we're trying to figure out how to get the ants out without killing the worms. Titi, the rabbit, is getting huge! The church starting a church plant in Hatillo, a neighboring community. The knitting class is making hats to donate to an orphanage. I could write a whole entry on any of these items, but will wait until I can get pictures to expand on these subjects.
