Every morning and every afternoon one of the neighborhood church ladies brings us freshly made tortillas.  It has been wonderful, but we don’t quite know what to do with all of the tortillas, so as of Friday we had mounds of tortillas piled up all around the kitchen.  It was quite the sight.  We brainstormed though and think we may have come up with a few good ideas…☺

10.   Sopapillas
9.    Paperweights
8.    Frisbee
7.    Chips
6.    Breeding mold
5.    The quickest and easiest way to meet the weird new Americans.
4.    Hot dog bun
3.    Tuna fish sandwich bread
2.    Tortilla-dolls (as in paper-dolls)
1.    Dog fights (dog shrieks arise as they fight over who gets the moldy tortilla).

The Lord is on his throne and life is okay here in little Aguilara, Mexico (our new location for the past week and future week and a half).  I will try and post more about ministry and life in the near future.  Do not have much internet time today.  Much love and missing!:)
