Blanket Auction

Dustin here reporting for the “Mac”exico blog. As you can see by this post and last, Mac seems to be the most photogenic….at least in hiliarious ways. A compliment? I think so.

Summing up today would be tough, so let me just give you some highlights in point form:

• Half the group moved dirt in the Mexican sun
• Half the group helped Claire with some organization here at there home to prepare for other groups
• We ate authentic Tamales
• Dustin got more burnt than he can explain in a blog…(sacrificing myself for the sake of the object lesson on sunscreen which we purchased immediatly after)
• We went to La Bufadora (the blowhole)…it’s a market and a spot where the waves crash up beautifully against the rocks…you’ll see pictures
• Youth were surprised by having to pay to use the washroom
• We sent Wayne and Claire out on an overnight date on us and had some of our team stay home to babysit.
• About half the team met up with two husbands of workers at the daycare to play soccer with some locals at sunset on a local field
• We had a blanket auction tonight within our group…it’s hard to explain at this time of night, but it was fun and it was a chance for some of our students to donate some money to the daycare here.

It’s hard to explain the plethera of experiences. The prayer guide today asked for prayer for syngery amongst our team, and I’m thrilled to share with you how fantastic we are all getting along. This has taken me nearly an hour because everyone is just sitting around, young and old, roaring with laughter (and then all hushing at each other because there are 3 babies sleeping in the next room). Thanks for praying!

My thoughts are scattered so I’m just gonna call it quits on this one! Tomorrow we head to the FFHM mission. We’ll let you know what’s up next chance we get!
