We get this question a lot, what is it like to be a missionary? Our day begins with the alarm going off at 5:15, putting coffee on getting the lunches ready, then Franklin is off to the farm at 6:30. He loads up the chainsaw and wood or barrel for water, fuel jugs, tools, while I get the lunches ready. Their lunches consist of rice and beans and today a fried egg! Sometimes they take chicken or ham, but always rice and beans! We pack their lunches in little butter tubs, hot and when they eat it is still warm! They break to have coffee and eat around 10 am each day!
Or what is it like to be a mission kid? Our children have balanced their role in missions very well! They get to sleep just a little longer than Franklin and then they relax around for awhile then around 10-11 we take off to the farm to help in whatever we can!
James and Mary have had a great time putting up a swing on the property camp center and raking leaves and showing their friends the swimming hole!
James wanted to cook his own breakfast one morning so I took his picture! He was proud of his eggs and toast! Mary laughed and joked with the guys they were surprised how well she worked and the fact that she was willing to go out there and grab a rake and gathering up all those sticks and leaves getting them ready to burn, to get this spot ready to build on!
Keep praying for this mission as we develop the camp center, Taller del Maestro Global Outreach.
JESUS BLESS YOU!
Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
