Monday: Projects Begin

We had an excellent first day of projects today in Colima, filled with painting, repairs, games, and crafts. We started a big painting project making the outside of Casa Matriz look clean and fresh. We started laying some new pavers at Casa Leonel to cut down on the dust and make the sidewalk bigger. We started curtains for Casa Matriz. We started painting the outside of Casa Famoso. And we started painting four bedrooms in Casa Galondrinas. As you can tall, it was a day of starting a lot of projects. Now hopefully tomorrow contains some finishing!

We rounded up a lot of bikes in need of repair!

And we had some great helpers repairing them

Once the kids saw we had supplies, they got into the repairs also!

We also collected some computers to repair

And... always... more painting

Please join us in thanksgiving for all of today's fun and hard work, and pray with us that our jobs continue to go well and that in all our work and in every conversation we bring joy to the kids and encouragement to the caregivers.
