Great Week!

I've had a great time here at Rancho Pro-Vision. We have worked every day since I arrived. Tani and I both have a few projects we're working on. We wrote and recorded two puppet skits that we'll be using tomorrow and Thursday at a VBS that we are going to help with. It's a challenge to record a skit in spanish and actually pronounce well so the Mexicans will be able to understand it. Ruben and German (pronounced Herman) helped tons with the translating and Ruben is the main recording guy. Ruben did the majority of the recording and putting the skits together with music and everything to make them exiting. He's such a blessing.
Also Tani and I are both writing books. Tani's book has ideas for working with preschoolers and mine is how to make balloon animals. It takes a lot of work to write all the directions and to draw all the figures showing how the balloon should look.
We enjoyed a relaxing Fourth of July this Friday. We mostly did the easy projects like cutting out laminated game cards for one of Kristi's curriculums while watching movies. Later we went to the theater and watched Walle, then came home to have a nice barbeque. We tried to go all american with hamburgers and potato salad. We watched a movie while relaxing in their 2 foot tall pool (can you tell I like movies?) and enjoyed little firecrackers Dwight bought at a candy store. Yesterday was cleaning day and today is a day of rest, online church, and playing Nerts.
Tomorrow Mom is going home. Mom and Kristi have enjoyed a nice vacation together this week. I'll miss Mom though, until I go home in either late July or early August. My date of departure is still undecided.
Tani, Kristi, and I have lots of work to do this week, though, with the projects we're working on, more projects to do, and a VBS to help with. In the future we also have another potential VBS and a Kids Camp, as well as Tani and I teaching a Sundayschool class on our own it appears. That'll be an adventure because our Spanish is severely lacking. Well, I suppose all we can do is rely on God to help us remember the words we need to reach these kids' lives. Please pray for the kids in the VBS(s), Sundayschool, and Kids Camp that they'll be open to recieve what God has for them and to listen to what we have to say. And pray for us that God will give us the grace to work with kids in Spanish. Bring it on!
