Yes, It Is Monday!

As is often the case for Monday Mission Trip work days not everything was ready for our crew. Materials were short and our guys did a lot of waiting today. Some stacks of drywall were moved to make room for interior walls.







Our men erected several of the interior wall panels that previous workers had assembled on the ground.









The Spanish mission church provided an excellent lunch for all the workers at noon.







The backyard Bible clubs were scheduled for 4:30 in the afternoon. It was a very interesting experience trying to get directions to the locations in the community. The pastor of the mission church speaks very little English and we understand very little Spanish! But all worked out well. Our ladies divided into three groups with one group meeting with kids in a church member's home, one group meeting in a garage and another group meeting at a trailer park in their community room. All three groups reported having very good meetings with around 12 to 15 kids and some adults at each location.

As Paula ended her session and loaded supplies back on the bus she discovered that one of the ladies there worked at our hotel and would likely be cleaning our rooms tomorrow.

I didn't get any pictures of the Bible groups today because of having to rush with the bus to get everyone delivered and picked up from their locations. The starting point was the mission church on the East Mesa from there the groups went to their individual locations. Two were in the community near the church and one was about 15 miles away near the downtown Las Cruces area. I will try to get pictures tomorrow.
