This past week was mostly spent helping with Vacation Bible School at First Baptist Church Cuba, NM. We stayed with Joyce’s parents, and some of her brother’s family was also there to help with VBS. Joyce helped with the 1st and 2nd grade, and I helped with the 3rd grade, led the singing for the closing ceremony each day, and set up the slides for the opening and closing ceremonies. I also helped the church by setting up a way to live stream services from the main sanctuary to the back building. This will help to provide an overflow room during funerals, weddings, or special services.
In the afternoons, we rested and spent time with Joyce’s family. We would eat supper together and Thursday night we made s’mores over a camp fire. It is very beautiful in the mountains where Joyce’s parents live. The pictures below do not really do it justice.
Saturday, we came back to Bloomfield and spent some time with Joyce’s extended family that were in town. Most of them came from Wyoming, and we had lunch at Joyce’s grandparents’ house. After that, we went into Farmington to help my parents and their church assemble the school supply kits. We will be heading down to Fabens, TX tomorrow to deliver the kits and spend a couple days with the missionaries we know down there. They are with Crossing Borders Ministries, and they help pastors and needy families in Mexico. Here is a link to their website for more information about their ministry. www.crossingbordersministries.com
It has been a busy week, but a good week of ministering to kids and spending time with Joyce’s family.
Clue 1: It has nothing to do with needing to get exercise.
Clue 2: It has nothing to do with the building getting flooded.
