How will I survive this weather WARNING? And yet another Doctor visit!

I'm not sure why my phone alerted me to "Severe Weather".
How will I EVER survive this 80º High and 60º Low? Oh, it'll be a rough day!

Thank you for your prayers that I would find the breaker for this light switch
so that I wouldn't have to replace it with power running through it.

Turns out the breaker was 2 feet away and hidden. Prayers answered and there was no danger.

There seems to always be impromptu parties that happen here. 
One night a missionary named Raymond from California (that's lived here 7 years)
bought hotdogs, grilled them up, and a few people grabbed guitars and headed over for some music and worship.

The next day it rained.

 Here are a few pictures of the main house Matriz.


This is a very tropical place compared to Utah. 
Everyday the kids have chores, some of which include 
sweeping and picking up the leaves twice a day.

This year I was able to go to the doctor yet again.
I ended up with pink eye and was worried that it was highly contagious so went to the doctor and have been very carful to wash my hands and touching people.
You probably can't see behind me, but the price for the doctor was MX$50 pesos.
The medicine was another MX$40 pesos. It was MX$90 pesos total (US$5.00) and it took 15 minutes.
I've really grown to enjoy going to the doctor here.

I've been coming 12 years and I'm still totally surprised at how long it takes me to get things done here.

Often times I just need to make things work with what I have.
The way we would say it in English is "Jerry rigged".
My Hispanic friends in the US call it "chicanada".
There's a real talent in making things just work and I'm working hard to develop that!

Here is a new facet that I was able to install.
I've gotten a few repairs done here, but honestly it's been very few.

I'm blessed to get to spend some quality time with a few of my favorite people.

Praises: Thank you for your prayers in finding the beaker box. I would've changed the light switch with power to it and I'm sure that I would've gotten shocked, for sure. Every thing was so tight in that box.

Prayer requests: I have a high level of frustration today with my Spanish. It's hard in life to learn new things, to purposefully put yourself out there and be willing to look the fool and fail. Today I feel that I'm not enough. My time here is going fast and the saying that comes to mind is "What will you do with this one precious life that you've been given?"

I need patience with my learning ability, help in my ability to comprehend, focused time to prepare some meetings that I have back home, time in prayer and communion with God.
