day 2. Praise the Lord, the AC works

thank you to all our readers... we know there are lots of you. Shout out to Kyle Power... our one follower. you rock. Lupe is sitting at the table with me [Janelle] he says he loves you.

And just incase we have more readers than kyle... here is an update for the general public. Love you mom...

Today was a day full of great things. Just to name a few: to start things off... No Earthquakes!, Lupe made a new best friend, his name is Omar and he's 4. the director of the clinic, Bruce, took our team on a tour of the city and we were able to film some of the richest and the poorest, and the AC in our car magically started working tonight on our way back from a children's ministry, lets just hope that we get to use it full blast tomorrow as temperatures are predicted to be in the high 90's.

We spent our morning in a village which the locals refer to as the Brick City. The majority of the people in this village spend their days producing bricks, in the middle of a dry trash infested area, which they make out of manure, hay and water and then heat them in their homemade kilns. We were able to talk to a man who was kind enough to let us film him as he worked in the heat of the day. He told us that on average he produces 800-1,000 bricks a day, mixing the water with hay and manure, laying them out, letting them dry, placing them in the kiln and then stacking them, repeatedly.

We ran into some technical difficulties in the afternoon as the computer kindly informed us that it would no longer store any information. DUN DUN DUNNNNN.... but we are working on that as I speak. Let's just say that the external hard drive and my computer aren't exactly the best of friends. It has been a hit and miss relationship. More updates on this situation to come.

Tomorrow we will be headed out about an hour away with the medical team to go to Trash City, an area described completely by its title, but we are determined to put faces to the name and find deeper stories than what meets the eye of the public. More to come.

Prayers Please!
1. The people that were treated today with the medical team
2. For the brick layers
3. That the people we come into contact with may not just see us as a group with a camera, coming to film them and then leaving, but that they will see our long term goals in the future come into play as the footage is sent all around to churches who will send teams out in the future to work at the different ministry sites.
4. Technical difficulties
5. That Lupe would be able to again find a new best friend tomorrow.


Shout out to our moms!
