At the construction project site

The week before last, Briana (our granddaughter) was busy working on a construction project.  Our gal is the tall one in the middle.  To the right of her are the two daughters, mother and son that the casita (small house) was meant for.  Bri enjoyed using the hammer and power tools.  They also put up drywall on the inside and did the joints.  I’m thinking she had no trouble getting to sleep at night.

On the far left (in purple) is Claudia one of Bri’s Mexican friends.  They have been in communication since the first of this year.  These two share a dorm room with another Mexican gal.  That means Bri is getting lots of practice with her Spanish.  That’s good.  Here’s what she had to say recently.

Hello all! My Spanish has been improving a lot and I’m having so much fun! This week we did an outreach to a local church and did lessons for little kids. I did a lesson and used an evangecube (a cube that you fold different ways to show pictures to help you tell the gospel to kids) and shared the gospel IN SPANISH with the kids. It was super fun. This upcoming week we will be taking care of two church teams from the US while they stay at the ranch and go to churches to do outreach.

I’m having lots of fun and I can’t believe its almost half way over. I don’t want to go back at the end of the summer!

Another month, and it will be time for her to return home.  She’ll have a few days with family before she returns to campus and starts classes.  I’m looking forward to seeing her again.
