We have had many things going on in the past 2 weeks. Jaynie continues with homeschool (we are over 2/3 done with 4th grade!) and Jose Luis has been going to help different people with different things. Today, he went to his mother's farm to help weed the corn fields. When he is home, he has continued to revise the script translation for God's Story and is so very close to finishing. We have been working in the gardens - our base has a greenhouse with tomatoes, chiles, cabbage, cactus, swiss chard, and squash. Outside, we have strawberries, lettuce, summer squash, green beans, and sweet corn. Near our house, we have planted snow peas, sweet corn, and "Tecomari" beans (huge mostly purple beans that look like big cockroaches or waterbugs when they are cooked!).
This past weekend the Christians in San Luis Majimachi held a party/revival and invited the people from Rowerachi (the photo above is from Rowerachi looking into the canyon) to attend. This involved several trips to Rowerachi on a horrible road (to invite the village, to pick up the people, and to take them back home). We had been told that only 10 or so would come - the or so turned out to be 30 more for a total of 40! At the service on Sunday morning, there were over 100 Tarahumara people and we had a great time of praise, worship, and sharing of God's Word.
Also, for almost 2 weeks I have been sick with what was diagnosed last Wed. as pleurisy (the second time in 6 months!). The antibiotics are working and I am finally feeling better.

Dear Susan,
I love your blog. I am so excited to hear about the church in Majimachi. Were the Tarahumara from Rowerachi Christians? Tell Jaynie I am glad she did not catch the flu and could continue her school work unabated. We continue to pray for your family. I think I remember to pray for the church in Majimachi more now that we are in Oregon and don't have access to it. Love to all, Kris
