Homework

Two totally different views: Margot says, "Oh, boy!" Manuel on the other hand doesn't seem nearly so excited! Margot goes to school 6 days a week now and is thrilled with it! Manuel is in the more self-paced PRONOE schooling on Saturdays and will be studying electrical circuits at the CEO on the weekdays.

Construction!

Here is a shot of the new connecting foundation between the cabañas. If you recall, there was about an 18 inch difference in heighth between the foundation of the girls´ building and the boys. Now we have a flat slab to join the two together. Also, you can see some of the interior wall material and some of the "calaminas" or roof tiles that will cover the roof. We are really excited to see how it all comes together.
Originally we had the following kids to move:Maricruz, Waldir, Hermelinda, Xavier, Adda Margooth,and Miguel Ángel. Now it appears we are in doubt as to Ronald´s age. He MAY be older and he MAY be placed in the 7th grade. That being the case, we would move him in place of Miguel Ángel who is still in 5th grade. You can see why I alway say,"maybe"!!! Lots of surprises.

Kid Time

Among the activites of the Redeemer team, time was included to spend both in talking with the Sagrada kids about their futures and doing crafts and teaching with the younger kids. You can see more details about the Redeemer team by checking out:http://ronandvickisministry.blogspot.com/

Update

While the Redeemer, Irving, team was here, we explained the need to join the two Casas with a small structure. They could see the need for more space. They also got to see the water tanks and thermos on the roof which other Redeemerites had helped provide when we first opened Sagrada Familia.

Prayers

Our kids don't realize it, but they have a whole group who are praying for them all the time. All they are aware of are the hugs and smiles they get while the tíos are here.
