Week two in San Isidro is in the books.  We've ripped out the old ceilings and put in new ones.  Once they are painted it is going to look so much better than before!  The electrical has been totally re-done.  Years of add ons by different people had created a spider web of sorts.  It's been sorted through now and we have a much safe, much simpler electrical system.  The walls in the upstairs bedrooms have been plastered and two of the four have been sanded.  They will all look like new once we get a couple of coats of paint on them.  We're also reinforcing the trusses that hold up the second floor and making wooden tables and benches for the new Sunday school room.  We'll be working here for two more weeks before about a month long break.  

It's been about 4 years since we've worked with teams here at the Methodist church in San Isidro and it's so nice to be home!   Of course we love working and staying in the different communities, but it sure is nice to sleep in our own bed...and not just 2 nights a week, but every night!  

We now officially have no more weeks available for the summer.  We weren't sure how the calendar would fill out this year with the struggling economy, but it looks like we're going to end up with 30 teams.  We are so thankful for everyone who has supported us and our work over the last 7 years.  Please continue to pray for Yolanda and myself and for the missioners who come to work with us.

Peace on Earth
