Can you smell the sawdust?

Today we get back to what we know, at least we get to work with good ‘ol fashioned Mexican lumber anyway.  We plan to put on the ceiling that will become the floor of the second story.

The steel structure is impressive.  After we placed the 40′ beam we placed 4 cross beams that were 18′ in length.  This type of construction is very out of character.  As Jess said "it’s the first time I’ve ever been to Mexico and over-built."  We’re actually thinking about having some t-shirts made up which proclaim "I went to Mexico and over-built."

There was a fire next to the church the other night.  At first glance it appeared that a taco cart had caught fire.  Initial reports said the FD showed up and hit the cart with a blast of water that sent the grease onto the wall of an adjacent building.  It made for a humorous story until the truth came out.  Funny how that happens!  It seems an RV caught on fire sitting out on the curb next to the auto mechanic shop.  No injuries to report and Tacos still abound.

At least that’s what I heard. 

You can continue checking the Gateway Church Mexico Mission Blog for updates.  Against my better judgment I let them use my camera so they should have some new pictures posted.
