Thank you all so much for your prayers and encouragement. The students had a great first day today. Many of the girls repainted the outside and inside of the classrooms with yellow paint. This time it was not watered down. The guys were up on the court digging away at the dirt so that we can put up the new metal goal posts (Soccer and Basketball). The students were great and worked very hard. They even had some time later in the afternoon to play with many of the students that arrived around 1:00 for school. As we have prayed before, God presented an unexpected opportunity to preach at the church connected with the school in San Andreas. So we accepted. Myself (Aaron) and Elizabeth (translation) presented the story of passion week leading up to the cross and the power of the resurrection. They told us 50 would probably show up. About 130-150 actually did. We pray God used what was presented to work in many lives. Their church sends their love and greetings to our churches back home. They would like to thank you for sending our team. Well, its about time to hit the hay. All have worked hard and are very tired. We all look forward to tomorrow and what God has for us next. God Bless.
