Life in the Shop | Keeping up with Adam Alexander and the CFC Sr. High

Wednesday Happenings

Adam called late tonight and said that they have a “tired tired group.”

This morning they worked on the construction at the camp again. There is a group that has been working on digging up cement pillars that are in the middle of the camp. They have been pretty discouraged by the lack of progress- which I forgot to tell you about yesterday. But today they got one of the pillars out! They were very excited and have the other one to work on tomorrow. Pray that they would have energy and drive to finish the job. One group started the sidewalks today. Another group is going to be working on a new roof for the girls dorm.

About 50 kids came to camp again today. Adam said it was a really good day and the kids seemed to have lots of fun. Our team taught the kids how to say “You are crazy!” So they were running around saying that all day. I’m sure the groups that follow ours this summer will be very pleased with that! Haha.

This afternoon/evening the team went into Guanajuato to do some shopping and eat dinner. They had fajitas at a restaurant there. Adam said to pray that the Mexican food settles well. :) Everyone did some shopping and some of the kids found a soccer game to watch. It was USA vs. Panama. USA won 1-0. Just thought I’d share that incase anyone was interested. :)

After shopping and dinner the group rode a trolley up a steep mountain and saw a monument of a guy that helped gain independence for Mexico- or something like that. As far as I understood what Adam said. They were supposed to go to a mine tonight but the bus couldn’t make it up the mountain so they went to this monument instead. The group had to walk back down the mountain- and Adam said everyone was pretty exhausted by that point. They were on the bus on the way home when he called me.

Tomorrow they have more construction to do like I shared earlier. Pray for all their projects and that they would work hard even though they are getting worn out. The kids will come again tomorrow afternoon. The team has invited the families back for the regular Jesus Film tomorrow night. Apparently there has never been much success in getting adults to come to the camp grounds. So if no adults come then they will show a Veggie Tales in Spanish. We need to be praying that this time would be different and the adults would come make those relationships with the camp, and hear the good news of the Gospel. PRAY PRAY PRAY!

I am very tired and waited up to get Adam’s call so now I am going to crawl into bed. I hope everyone had a great Wednesday and enjoyed the little treat of pictures that Adam sent. 5 days until we see the team again. We are half way there…
