Welcome to November in Baja. The colors you see here are the normal, year-round shades of brown and dusty green. The trees lose a few leaves and the temps drop 10-20 degrees from the height of summer. We recently had a couple of rain showers complete with the symbol of God's promise not to flood the earth again. I love that!
Since we've had no visiting groups of short-term missionaries lately, I've been wearing my "base director's" hat and trying to prepare and improve IDT's facilities for the winter rains. We hope to have concrete for a couple of short sidewalks poured soon. These should diminish the amount of mud that gets tracked into our buildings.
We're also preparing for our Christmas shoebox gift program. This year, we plan to visit hospitals and other facilities to distribute gifts to those who may think they are forgotten. God has not forgotten them! He knows the number of hairs on each of their heads.... yours, too! If you would like to participate by sending Christmas gifts in shoebox-sized packages, please e-mail me quick at guitarforjesus200100@yahoo.com
A quick note about Hacienda Sinaloa (mentioned in previous posts) - Most of the people have left this agricultural labor camp in the hills of Baja. There is very little work here for them this time of year and they have moved on to other parts of Mexico. I was able to visit with the three remaining families last week and they were preparing to leave soon.
May God bless you! Thanks for reading!
