<>Driving down the Baja ‘Mex 1’ highway toward San Vicente, it’s unbelievable how GREEN everything is! The rainy season has been kind, even the previous fire zone’s black-charred scar is now covered in green growth.
<>The Mex gov’t has ‘done themselves proud’ in the road construction through the mountains. There’s only a few stretches of unpaved detour… Soon, very soon…
<>Economics in San Vicente have gotten a bit harsher. For some of our friends, both parents have had to move into picking vegetables in the fields.
<>Wednesday church, sat in as the bass player. Where do they get all these different songs I’ve never heard before. Oh well, just ‘chart-play’ my way thru the tunes…
<>After church, quite an intense conversation with a guy I’ve known for awhile. I asked him if he’s single. No, he says, separated, with a 3-yr old son in Chihuahua. We talk about what God has been saying to him about all that. He (reluctantly) says he’s supposed to attempt a reconciliation, and be closer to son… but he’s enjoying the peaceful village and warm-fellowship in the church. I pose to him that maybe it’s time to move to Chihuahua and start the process. Yeah, I’m feeling that too, he says… we pray together…
<>Lori spending time with one of her ‘cottage industry kids’ who are trying some new ways to improve their family… we enjoy some ‘free range chicken eggs’ (scrambled) for breakfast, cooked on the little hot-plate in our ‘field house’…
<>I’ll be following two new patients long-term. One is diabetic, being ‘upped’ to insulin injections. The other, a ‘chronic anemia’ patient now getting B12 shots. Both are less than enthused with their health problems.
<>Have to cut the trip short by a few days, huge storm coming south, arrives Friday night. We try to avoid trips thru the mountains in the rain, very dangerous.
Yep, that’s the week of ministry... your bro, Chris
