Tacos and more pictures

One night, when we were watching movies in the girl's living room, I ordered out Tacos al Pastor and they were delivered by a man on a motorcycle. The tacos were very good, and spicy! It cost me my whole month's worth of ministry money to pay for it, but I think the girls liked them.

Speaking of tacos, Isidoro, the man who cleans and takes care of the church building where I work, brings Emily and I tacos every day. His family sells them and they are probably the highlight of my day! Mole and chicken, and I always put plenty of radishes, onions, picante sauce and lime juice on mine.

Knowing us, and our obsession with tacos...Emily and I went out and bought a bunch of things to make tacos with for lunch in our kitchen. My job was to cut up the green peppers. Unfortunately, I didn't know that peppers will burn your skin! Everything that I touched after touching the peppers BURNED. I really thought that I had severe burns on my hands...they turned all red and burned for about 4 hours.
I will never cut peppers again!

Almost every day, while walking to work, we would see a girl who we thought looked American, walking down the sidewalk near the church. One day, she stopped us and asked us if we live here. We talked for a little bit and told her why we're here. She is from Arkansas and moved here to be with her boyfriend, who works all the time. Emily and I were glad to meet her and considered it a great opportunity to share Christ. And yesterday, while I was walking to work alone, I saw her and she said that she wanted Emily and I to come over to her house sometime! I think she is lonely. It is exciting that someone in her situation is interested in us and wants to know us better. Please pray for Amber, and our relationship with her.

Emily's parents have come to Acapulco for a week to visit. I have been very lonely without her being at Casa Hogar and going to work all by myself. But when I see them, I am very spoiled, because her parents rented a car, so I am driven everywhere in air conditioning and they've taken me out to eat TWICE!

Last night, they took the three kids from Casa Hogar that they sponsor and Mac and I out to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was so fun to have a night out on the town and see all the lights of the city. They gave the kids presents, including gameboys, which were donated by friends ( Emily's mom asked a friend if they had an extra gameboy to donate, and before she knew it, the word
spread and friends had donated 11 gameboys to Casa Hogar!)
