The Spanish Bible Study is officially suspended for the summer since most everyone is gone. However Liz (the leader of the group) has continued meeting each week with Monica (a new lady) and going through the book Purpose Driven Life. Thursday, the kids and I went too. Monica is a studier. She has studied one of the ancient Aztec languages spoken in Mexico (Naguat???) and just devours books, especially about history. Very interesting... She reads in English and French...and Spanish, of course. Her husband knows some of the difficult languages like Russian and Chinese. It was neat to hear all she gleaned from the book. I think we all learned. She invited me to come back another time so that she could teach me more about the Naguat people/language.
The pool here at our house has been leaking a lot of water, so Sunday night Todd added a chemical which is supposed to find and stop leaks. There were warnings on the bottle about not ingesting it and even about touching the stuff so we decided to close the pool, just to be safe. Of course it has been SO hot this week. :) The sun just beats down on our concrete roof and heats up the upstairs. Fortunately we have a few trees to give a little shade and FANS!!!! But the kids have been sweating like crazy and getting heat rash....especially Kyle.
Last night we finally filtered out the chemical, so the kids were in the pool as soon as they had breakfast this morning....Todd too!!! :)
There is a large hole/drop off at the end of our road where it adjoins a more main road. Yesterday the kids and I filled it in with rocks and gravel. Kyle and Megan are such good little helpers. It was fun to hear advice about what we needed to do and how it should be done from several people hanging out down there. :) I know it will be back the way it was in just a few days, but it was a fun little project.
