Saturday, April 23rd we took a bus to Chadraui ( a grocery store at the entrance to Cancun City) to meet Rossy where we went with her to Bonfil to see the children she ministers to. We rode with Rossy and her daughter and friend, and granddaughter and her friends in their van which is in much need of repairs or replacement. It rained while we were at Bonfil and the roof was leaking on Rossy where the holes were. Her daughter Andrea had a wet seat from sitting where it had soaked the cushions.
A total of 21 children came today. They were having a funeral down the street where some of the children were attending.
Rossy had made up some resurrection eggs and told the children the Easter story using the eggs and also some pictures she had of the crucifixtion and resurrection. The children were very attentive to Rossy message. Even though we couldn't understand what Rossy was saying we could see the attentiveness on the children's faces, especially a couple of older children in their teens. Rossy said she would like to start a Bible Study with the teenagers on Friday nights.
Les took pictures of the buildings and surrounding area with the new water tank and her replacement for the water pipes which had been stolen while Rossy was staying with us.
After Rossy's message the children decorated little crosses and wrote a message on it. Many wrote Jesus loves me (Jesus amo mi), but one little boy wrote Jesus loves me and died for me.
It certainly would be helpful to know more Spanish when we are there with the children. I did learn how to say "What is your name?" in Spanish and tried to help them write their names.
Rossy's daughter Andrea and her friend made hamburgers for all the children after the class so everyone went home with a full tummy.
After the children left, a man who does general construction work, Carlos Tellitud, came to meet with us. Rossy had met him at the Catholic Church just a week ago. He had been recommended to her by someone at the muncipal building. Carlos had plans drawn up of Rossy's construction needs and went through all the plans with Les, via interpretation by Rossy, as he doesn't speak English. Before he left, Les asked if we could pray together about the construction process and the possibility of us bringing a team down to help with the construction. Carlos was very open and we gave him a million dollar bill, which he was very receptive to. So we are praying about how this could all work out.
