Getting Ready for the Big Day!

This past week we were busy getting everything ready for the Inauguration Sunday Service at the "Agua Viva" Mission. The bathrooms (outhouse style) had to be moved and renovated, electrical shorts had to be fixed, fill dirt had to be brought in and leveled, the cement patio had to be swept, the drywall on the front wall of the sanctuary had to be finished, the wall had to be painted, and the sanctuary had to be cleaned and the chairs and other furniture arranged.


Some of the projects were done during the week, and on Saturday we had a work day at the mission. Several families came to help us get the work done. We started at 8:00 am and finished after 1:00. The work was made more difficult with rain, the mud got tracked inside and we ended up mopping the floor in the santuary three times. One of the ladies who could not make it to work sent over chiles rellenos (chili peppers filled with cheese, dipped in egg, and fried) and Alma, who lives at the mission, made burritos.

We were all tired, but glad to have the mission looking good for Sunday!
