Rise above it all!

Today was a regular day of work for the men of hope. The sun was out but it was as windy as it could get. Sand was flying, but the children were playing.

We only worked til lunch today, and then we left for Pena De Bernal. Over half of the men hiked to the top, and others enjoyed the view from other points of the mountain. The wind was quite strong, and breaks were needed for the climb.

From here we continued to go to the base to shop, and then we parted for town. Supper was enjoyed with mexician steak, and tortilla soup.

It started to rain tonight (which is very uncommen for this time of year) but coffee, and shopping was still done in town.

A verse that stands out for today is.

Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Tomorrow is our last day here at Pan De Vida so we will have to say good bye to the children. We will work till lunch, then join the Rock Concert in the afternoon. We depart the orhpanage at 4AM on Sunday.

Thanks for all the support.
