Jody writes briefly:
-Had a good trip (travel)
-Irene met me at the airport (I got through quickly AND got the green light)she’s doing great and was on her way back from leading a team to San Miguel
-we met Bonnie & Joe, Luis, & a couple others for lunch
-we stayed in our usual hotel
-16 on the team, some from W. Virginia & some from Ohio. Crazy fans !!
-the church is great, but there is a lot to do this week-tomorrow we paint columns, wire brush and paint bathrooms and I don’t know what else-they plan to pour -the sanctuary floor on Tuesday and the bells are coming Tuesday also
-the worship was, as always, very special.
-There were more Cristo Rey members than I have ever seen.
-the tour, ice cream and Super Selecto were great! We had a lot of Christo Rey people in our entourage. There were almost 50 of us on the bus from church back to the hotel-
Karla is with us this week as well as another leader named Francie and she’s fun, too.
Take care!
Thank you!
Shalom,
Jody
