In our May newsletter I mentioned going to Autlan for a few days. One of the things we did was help Pastor Antonio pour the floors in 2 of the bedrooms of his home. It was a great time; just me and Brent doing some father-son time and Brent got to play with Nahum who is his age. (Daniela, Pastor Antonio's daughter, is sitting next ot Brent in the photo.) Pastor Antonio's wife fed us well; her homemade flautas are awesome! Good Spanish practice as well as learning more about cement finishing the Mexcian way. Pour the gravel and sand and cement into a pile and mix thoroughly. Bake on high for 30 minutes. No, wait that was the cake receipe. Let's see; oh yeah: add the right ratio of buckets of water once you have made a "pool" for it. Then mix thoroughly and either haul it our in buckets through the window or into the wheel barrow and down the hall. Piece a cake. I am looking forward to fellowshipping more with Pastor Antonio once we get to Autlan.

That's exactly the same method we used in Nicaragua this past summer while building a pastor's home. All that bending and mixing makes for good exercise!
