Noah & the Ark
We cut out over 200 arks, window, doors, giraffes and elephants...and after tomorrow...most will be floating somewhere in many homes around here. Our final bible lesson was based on the story of Noah. We emphasised God's covenant to Noah, obedience and patience. (The later is something I have had to really embrace as everyone and everywhere we go, it's always an hour...or two late.) We played "Pin the Animal in the Ark"...the funniest part was watching them put on my gloves which I had them wear... you could tell they had not put on gloves very often. We also formed a circle (our ark) and tried to keep the animals (balloons with faces on them) inside the ark. We counted to 40 in English and Spanish and finally, learned a bit about several animals. Our "pay" was a bunch of pretty excited kids having lots of fun and hopefully....filing away more important lessons from the bible.

Correction on Jalopy
Thought when I wrote about the jalopy a few days ago, I knew what a jalopy was. Wrong again. Today we rode in a REAL jalopy. It had a steering wheel, gas pedal, brakes, a few door knobs, a window or two that worked, no working gauges, no real dashboard and just minor holes in the floorboard...except for the truck with major holes. But that good ol' jalopy had enough power...barely...to get all 6 adults home! No sir, no just ordinary cars for us!!

Looking for an American Husband
While squished in the back seat of the jalopy, we got to laughing so hard I thought we would bust a gut. One of the ladies from the church told us (traslanted via Tatiana) that she had a dream...that missionaries from America came...and knew of someone in America who would marry her...and take her to America where she would blossom! He would be less than 35, kind, love her and their home, speak Spanish (which Rog said was not necessary as love is an universal language) and love God. Rog and I started brainstorming ...and came up with a few names of possibilities. She said tomorrow she would bring a picture of her, a sexy one....no a whole album of pictures...and an resume....so we could take it home and find her "dream American husband!" Who knows??? Might just happpen!!! If any one reading this has candidates...let us know!
