A great day!

Starting this morning, i got to the shower and turned the knob all the way open, and absolutely nothing came out (this is jake by the way). I thought i was gonna have to take a ice cold shower until, after about 5 minutes, the water finally started to flow. Breakfast was great as usual, although they did change something abiut the sweets they set out on the table. Anyway, we got to Progresso and started to lay down concrete with a large elephant trunk like tube that was connected to the mixer. Once we got most of the concrete laid out, Nicole, Randi, Emily, Ive and I left for the school to invite more children to come to the VBS at Progreso. (Nicole).. When we got there, we met the director. He was very nice. He invited the group of us into his office. We continued to talk about the purpose of our trips to Culiacán. After that explanation, he said to us "Go ahead and do anything if it's for God!" He let us go to every single classroom. He informed us that if the kids got their homework done right away at school, then the director would allow them to leave school early for the VBS. When it came time for the VBS, we sang songs, puppets and a pretty sweet bible story re-enactment. It was the story of the paralytic man getting lowered through the roof. Me(Nicole), Jake and Emily all climbed onto the roof of the church. Ive was the narrorator. As she explained the part where they break the whole in the roof, Jake and I jumped as high and as hard as we could to make it look like we were breaking the roof. Then, we picked up Emily, who was wrapped in a blanket and lowered her down to Shawn and Steve. Pete played the role of Jesus. Overall, the skit went fantastic!!! We finished the VBS and the men finished the second half of themovie courageous. I was told that the mens meeting went well. After that, we all had dinner at the Bellos house. It was delicious! Now, it is time for bed!! Prayer Requests: 1. A friend of Emily had his grandma die this afternoon. Pray for the comfort of the family. 2. Vanita is feeling much better, but Josiah is now getting sick. Pray for good health throughout the whole team. 3. Driving around tonight, we saw a guy who was hit by a car. The man was on a bicycle. Pray that God lays his hand over him and that he is ok. Goodnight!! Nicole and Jake! (:
