Arrival in cabrero

We arrived safely (finally) in Cabrero 24 hours after we left Houston. We were greeted by the head deacon at the bus terminal. We dropped our bags at the hotel and went to see one of the church members about transportation.

We saw the bus and discussed prices. They were a little high so we got the info and left to go see the plot of land for the church.




Pastor Montecinos discussing how the new church will affect Cabrero

The church is on a lot with three concrete walls surrounding it. We will be tight on the sides and will have about 6 feet maximum on either side, so prepare yourselves! The church members already built a shed for the tools. They are supposed to put a temporary bathroom there for us to use during construction.

After that we went back to the bus terminal to check on more transportation options. We got a couple of names and should know more on Sunday but it was promising.

We went back to the hotel and said goodbye to the pastor and head deacon. Tito and I went to the supermarket to get something for dinner. Let me tell you, it was fine dining. We had sandwiches with jelly from a bag, mayonaise from a bag and other assorted treats. We have pictures of the food to share. Quite a treat.

Our gourmet spread of food. Notice the jelly in a bag on the lower right. Very classy....
The very disturbing yellow mayonnaise from a bag.

We will go to the pastors house in the morning for breakfast and go to church from there.

The room was so cold, Tito had to put his hat on and wrapped the towel around him

It has been a good, but very long day. The Lord has blessed and we have acomplished a lot.

Mmmmmm, yummy--condiments from a bag. Well, I guess they are mandatory in a country that is ranked #2 in the world for eating bread--got to keep it interesting with all the extras.

Love and prayers, Rach
