Hey, we can go retro around here once in a while, right? And since a decade is such a nice even number, here’s a shot of Hannah and her Grandma Cottrill potting some plants ten years ago this month…
On Wednesday we went to Chalco (with the team from Mt. Calvary Church) and presented another eight wheelchairs to people in need of them. Each person was given a Bible, and Mayra gave a presentation of the Gospel to the recipients and their family and friends who were there.
Here are the eight people who received the wheelchairs, given in cooperation with the Free Wheelchair Mission. In the bottom right you can see Mayra sharing with one woman, using the woman’s new Bible.

As many of you know, we have a team here from Pennsylvania. It’s been a great start to summer activities, with a soccer tournament, tiling at the church property, baking classes, visiting a home for seniors, a wheelchair presentation, English classes – and we’re not done yet!
Eventually I’ll post some pictures in our photo gallery, but here are a few just to show what we’ve been up to in the past few days…
Yesterday I drove up to the church’s property to see a water company vehicle, a police truck, and a small group of “concerned neighbours”. Yes, it was time, again, to try to get water to the property, after over a year full of attempts.
The water company workers and the police were the constants throughout the day – the neighbours dispersed.
By the evening, this tube was running through our wall, and it had WATER in it!
Yes, we actually have real water. Not really any organized way to deal with it yet, beyond a mess of hoses, and a storage tank. But that’s a whole lot better than no water at all!
Thank you so much, all of you who have prayed for so long. God has answered our prayers.
And now – what? Maybe some electricity? Functioning bathrooms? The sky is the limit! 🙂
