Gratitude



Today is a special day because the church we have been working with in Los Charramicos received word today that after a two year process their official church registration has been processed. They are now in a position to legally own property. It is exciting because we together with them have been looking at some potential properties to purchase so they can build a church rather than continuing to rent premises. Last week Larry and the pastor (Victor) toodled out past the edge of town on this outrageously tiny bike that was donated to the pastor to look over a piece of land. It's a complicated process here to research property for sale and it could be a while. Yes, they made it back safely and the pastor continues to putter along. The pastor and his wife have 6 kids and this is their only transportation, other than the public "transit". Again, a lesson in gratitude to be learned from them as Victor comes in beaming thanking God for His amazing blessings!

Oh. My. That's some stylin' transportation. I could use one of those, we only have 3 kids.

hey, we have seen many creative ways people use this mode of transportation. Motor bikes (larger of course) carry anything from spinner washers, to propane tanks to 4 or 5 adults or a couple of adults and a live pig wrapped in a blanket, etc. Very amusing sometimes.
