Wow, what a day. I don't even know where to begin. Today I set up the Mac Lab so we now have 5 macs all connected to the internet. I will start teaching computer classes next week. Juan will be translating for me until I get good enough to teach computers in Spanish on my own. I am excited and I really hope the kids enjoy the classes. We will be offering classes covering everything from video editing to word processing. Thanks to all who made the Mac Lab happen. We are always looking for more donations too. Wink, wink.
Today we also passed out food. Every 2 weeks we pass out food to about 10 familes. The food bags consist of tomatoes, potatoes, beans, meats, and other essentials. We also help support some familes with rent as well. Some of these familes really needed help. The family pictured didn't even have enough money for gas so they couldn't cook. We covered their gas bill as well.
It is amazing what 20 dollars can do for some of these familes. Rent for one family was 23 dollars a month. That is a meal for me back home. One meal is rent for a month! It makes you think doesn't it? 20 dollars can also buy lots of food for these familes. If you want to help support some of these familes, please visit the Mission in Mexico website and contact us.
We are having a movie night tonight for the youth at the office!
My lunch today cost me $1.30. Amazing.

How were the homes of the people you passed out food to?
we actually went to flor and perlita's house today and talked to the dad about fixing up their place. I took some pics that I will upload so you can see.
Flor's dad is really cool. Theresa and I were roaming the streets and we saw him selling newspapers for very little money. He stopped to say hello to us, so nice. Theresa bought one even though she couldn't read it.
yea he really is cool. single dad doing it all taking care of 2 girls.
