Breakfast at the Mission

What do you think we had for breakfast?  It was very good!

Jennifer and Bruce on the Mission grounds.

Kate and Jennifer on the truck...our first modeling job in San Lucas...ready to tour the town.

Barb Kate Bruce and Jennifer on the coffee drying patio...a long way up....overlooking San Lucas...Rita...the sensible one...is at the bottom of the hill.

Kate and Barb coming down...the locals carry 100lb bags of beans up the hill to process and dry their beans.

Dish duty...yes Barb, he does do dishes...and seems to be enjoying it!  Lunch was chili for 75 people!

Sr Rita getting in on the action...scrapping plates.

We found out today that we are here during their winter which means rain and 65 degrees.  So...we did manage to escape the heat of Minnesota but not the rain!  Almost everyone we have met is here from somewhere in Minnesota.

Daily Lesson:  We are here as global citizens and working in solidarity with the people of San Lucas.  As Fr Greg Schaffer put it we are not in front of them pulling not behind them pushing but walking along side them.  If they are sprinting we need to sprint with them and if they are crawling we need to crawl with them.

We are proud to say we are from Fergus Falls and Alexandria, it is a constant reminder of who is thinking about us and praying for us as we continue on our mission work.  Hope all is well with all of you, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
