Hey guys another update! I was going to update yesterday, but the internet is down at the camp so there might be a few less updates as a result, but I will try to be here as often as possible. The comments were AWESOME. I cant wait to take them back to the group, but PLEASE give me some good news about my Redlegs.
Denver, Blaire and McKenna are here with me. They told me to say hello and that they are having a lot of fun. Does anyone have a copy of the new Jonas Brothers CD for McKenna?
Alright on Sunday we played softball against the Dominicans. We went up 5-0 and lost the game in the last inning. We figured it would be good sportsmanship if we were true ambassadors and let them win. The second game we decided to make it even more lopsided and we lost 10-0. (do you believe us lol)
The youth service on Saturday night was incredible the dominicans worship was awesome and all of our students hit it out of the park. Church on Sunday was neat too. Steve did a great job preaching.
The house we are working on is coming along. When something needs 4 nails the dominicans onlyt use 1... maybe we put the roof on today and maybe do the floors wednesday or thursday.
Yesterday we had a group go do VBS a couple hours away. The ride was long and tiring but VBS went great and was a lot of fun. Hope thanks for praying so hard for us (everyone else too) the van got a flat tire and was able to coast into a tire shop on the way there. Yea God!
A couple more notes before our time runs out. Be praying a couple of us have stomache aches, but nothing serious. We are all tired and very sore, but no one is complaining and everyone is complimenting our gorup on their great attitudes and passion to serve. We have seen GOds glory all oevr the place, and we are doing our best to reveal His Glory as well.
We have seen a few tarantulas as big as a persons fist. When we find them Mechor takes gas and sets them on fire. Que Beuna! We also found a beetle the size of your ear and we put it in Brogans bed. Que divertido!
Alright I am running out of time. Be praying for VBS tomorrow and Thursday. Pray for our renewed energy and the people we will be serving. Safety is another good thing to pray for. Keep the comments up we can feel your love and prayers wherever we go.
There is also a frog loose in the girls room hopefully they find it... maybe it is a dominican prince. We had an awesome campfire last night as well it was something new for the dominicans.
Vaya Con Dios,
Mateo
PS: Denver tiene un gato en su pantalones!
Hi Guys...We are praying for you! Any chance you can bring back some cool, gross, or disgusting critter for my science lab? I suppose you'd have to smuggle it across, and the Bible probably says something about that!:(
ReplyDeleteJordan, we miss you--your horse is doing fine!
Love you, Mom
Please tell McKenna that the Jonas Brothers did a surprise FREE concert in Loveland over the weekend! Sorry she missed it but we got some photos for her!
ReplyDeleteKeep working hard. Brogan loves spiders and snakes..so put lots in his bed!
Bad news about your beloved Redlegs.. They have dropped four in a row - the last of the series with the Nats and they were swept by the Royals. And now the Braves come to town!

We wanted to let you know that Amber ALSO loves bugs, ESPECIALLY spiders, so take that into consideration next time you find some.
ReplyDeleteTuesday night: REDS WIN 7-2 over the Braves. Lance Nix 3-5.

Hello! Glad to hear the trip is going well. Hope the upset stomachs get better soon, that's no fun. Tell Jake to take lots of pictures and to NOT bring any stow away spiders home in his luggage!
ReplyDeleteWe're praying for you, see you Saturday.

Sounds like the trip is going well. Sorry there have been some stomachaches. We are praying for everyone to stay healthy and strong. It was good to hear you Mike even though we got cut off without a conversation. We miss you and Beth. Tell Beth I saw her friends at VBS and they too are missing her. I hope you guys are taking lots of pictures, especially of the cockroaches and taratnulas. Love you guys. Keep shining!
ReplyDeleteHey, yes I'm up late and finally checking the blog. I have been praying a ton for you all, and will continue to do so.
ReplyDeleteAshli and Kyle, I should have the bathroom done by the time you get home~you like blue/frogs, right?
Sending loads of love your way!! I'm so proud of you.
Wednesday night the Reds won 4-3, beating the Braves for the second night in a row. Today they go for the sweep. I can't remember the last time that happened.
