Ranch Adventures Round Two

Monday we took a second trip to the ranch being used by Rancho Agua Viva, but first a few other random photos.


My right field view of softball for once. (I am consistently the catcher.)


Balto has been suffering from an infected foot. Here is a photo from the short span his "bandage" lasted.


We are required to have some fire drills in the individual buildings this year. So here are a couple photos from the drill Amalia, Bertha, and I did in the kitchen the other day.



Miguel and I replanted the garden at CVE (after our fall planting died due to the cold.)
The first thing to come up was the radishes.

Monday was a holiday for Benito Juarez' birthday and Carlos and Marty Bahler planned an outing to the ranch. It was just as delightful a day as the outing we had the beginning of February. It was also probably our last day of normalcy before Coronavirus restrictions hit the area. 


The firemen building our fire. They did a great job!


Bombas and hotdogs again for the win!


This trip almost everyone took a hike up a nearby "hill."
Here are some photos from our hike.



Some of us girls took a different route and ended up in some tight and somewhat scary places. But it was quite the adventure!


Me arriving at the top.



Heading out with the well-loaded gator and it's expert driver.

Last Thursday (April 12), we were still planning on a work team for the end of the month and had only been hearing about Coronavirus on the news. It seemed like a distant threat on the other side of the world. By Monday (April 16), all mission travel from the USA (outside of Arizona) was restricted and school in Sonora had been canceled for the next month. I know all of us are experimenting abrupt changes in schedules and plans. It has been a long time since the world has been affected in so many areas by one cause. May this time remind us that God is in control, not us, and may we look to Him for peace! Prayers for all of you in your areas of the world and for those who are sick or worrying for the health of their loved ones!

Thanks for your prayers and support!

In All Things

Butterflies. Azure skies. Happiness. Rain
Walking miles, Friendly smiles. Contentment. Pain.
Lessons learned. Hard way earned. Experience. Fears.
Prayer times sweet at His feet. Melodies. Tears.
Often said. Often read. Happy or sad.
As we live, thanks to give. Life be good or bad.
