Last night was a beautiful clear night and the stars were spectacular. We know because the power went out so there was no light pollution to compete with the stars. The power came on after awhile and we had a nice visit with Holly Tompkins at Casa Grande. Like many missionaries, she has an amazing life story with God showing his care for her in very interesting ways.
This morning started out with a completely clear sky and then it clouded up through the day. We've been hearing about the cold back home and we aren't sorry that we are missing it. It was a little hot, so the lemonade that Martin made from our lemon harvest came in quite handy.
We continued our work projects today and made good progress on the two screened in porches. We now have the woven wire mesh and wood pieces that we need to kid-proof the screens. Doreen and Terry took turns sanding the wood. Tom, Martin and our guests Doug and Donna all worked on demo and hanging new screens. Karen also got all the screens replaced in Casa Paciencia before joining the rest of us working on the porch.
After a dinner of papusas and salad we all got cleaned up and will have our evening devotional time as soon as this blog posting is done. Who knows, we might even do something wild and crazy like play some dominos.
Here are a few pictures of our day:
