Organizing

In order to be able to minister well, to be able to welcome our next team of students, this is a different kind of a week for us.  When we moved over from the old site, we kind of gathered everything up and just got it into our new closet, without taking a lot of time to organize. 

With our wonderful and action-packed outreach, which included activities like the Open House and Mothers’ Day Fiesta, the closet got worse and worse.  In fact, by the end of last week, we were having a difficult time putting our hands on a pair of scissors!  So, this week, it was time to pull everything back out of the closet, and start organizing! 

How’s it going?  Kaylee (our awesome summer intern) said it best.  We’re in that in-between stage of growing out your hair.  You ladies will likely know that stage when hair is not short enough to be cute and sassy, but not yet long enough to really style. 

That’s what the site looks like right now.  Everything is spread out on tables, counters, the floor, and while it’s looking a bit of a mess, we know we’re getting closer to something really nice.  Because of the mess, we’re not holding all of our classes this week.  We’re still doing some one-on-one discipling and visiting, but for the most part, we’re tackling the stuff.

We have to take this time to say a special thank you to Angie.  Angie has a passion for El Callejon, and has come down for the past several summers, on outreaches, as a summer intern, and as a volunteer.  She’s on ‘vacation’ this month.  It’s in quotations, because her vacation has meant spending long, hot days helping us minister in El Callejon! 

We know she loves the community… and the community loves her, too!  We feel so blessed by Angie, and pray confidently that her new job in the U.S., working with abused women, will extend that blessing to many more hurting people.  Dios te bendiga!!
