Hey, that's a container on the back of the truck. Don't be fooled though, that's not our container, it's the "moving truck".
Cecilia and Elida wait patiently while I look down our list of boxes to attempt to tell them where the boxes they have are supposed to go. It's a lot harder than it looks. I should have studied the spanish words for the different rooms in a house. If you look below you'll see that I wasn't communicating very well.
There were several men - Julio, Gabriel, Heber, Sebastian, Marco, Pablo, Archie, David and Juan Carlos; as well as several women - Elida, Rebekah, Norma, Cecelia, Andrea, Cristina, Ruth, and several teen girls who came to help unload the container. What a blessing to have all their help. Not only did they unload but they helped set up beds and move furniture around. The ladies helped me begin unpacking boxes too. We have a wonderful church family here in Colonia.
Ruth Perez is enjoying playing "Showers of Blessing" on her accordian graciously given to her by a family at Faith Baptist of Warren, Michigan; the Perez' sending church.
Mount Ever Rest! This is what beds are made for, right? That's what these bunch of monkeys thought. Simeon is not about to be left out of the fun as he skillfully climbs behind his big brother Nehemiah. Isabel sets aside all her feminine charm to hang out with the guys. Scary thing is she probably thought to climb the beds in the first place.
Our guachito (I sure hope that's a word, you know they add ito/ita onto words for little people, I'm just trying out my Spanish, we'll see if anyone corrects me) anyway, this rocking horse was Brandon's when he was Simeon's age. Thanks Uncle Fred and Aunt Gail, guess you never imagined this horsie would make it all the way to South America.
