Luis David had his 4th birthday party this past Sunday. We misunderstood that we would have an opportunity to give a Gospel presentation but we figured it out by the day before that this wasn’t what they were thinking. Oh well. I bought some cool little “wordless book” bracelets and an evangicube that we’ll just have to use on another occasion.
Pretty typical birthday party pics. This is where Emmanuel and Maricruz as well as Lupe and Rocío live. It’s a large patio area surrounded by about 20 rental rooms. E&M have a large room with a separate narrow room that functions as a kitchen. L&R live in an L-shaped two-room apartment. None of the rooms have a bathroom or any running water. The common area has a place for hand-washing clothes as well as dishes, and then a few toilet rooms and a few shower rooms that all the tenants share.
