I'm Glad I Ate Those Three Chickens

If you own a concrete factory don't try to close it in Sucre. If you do the truck drivers will close down the city by parking their trucks in every intersection. At least, that's what they do in Sucre. Because the city was shut down we hiked about 3 hours round trip to get to Horno CKasa. It was a long trip but we got to see the city in a different way. It really is beautiful here... Yesterday we got to spend a couple hours with the students that are on the "Wall of Success". These are kids in the neighborhood who's lives have truly been transformed. I remember 3 years ago there were only a few kids hat could have been on the wall if there was one. Now there are 10, and we met another 10 that haven't has their pictures put up. Most of them are on legitimate paths to being lawyers, social workers, accountants and doctors. Years ago these were just ideas, that maybe these kids could have a real future, but today it's real. Their involvement in Church and their relationship with The Lord has really transformed their lives. It was an honor to spend time with them. They all asked that we pass on thanks to MCC for all that has been done in the community. Speaking of changes, we've spent a lot of time in a new FH neighborhood, Villa Margarita, and we all have déjà vu. It's much like Horno CKasa was 5 years ago. We cleaned up the school, and provided equipment and books for a library. Tonight is the farewell dinner, then we're off to La Paz in the morning. Thanks for all the prayers this week. God has been faithful in a ton of ways. We can't wait to share more about next week. Love you guys. (I typed this on an iPhone and it won't let me go back and edit. Sorry for the typos)
