Amazing Street Art
A couple of weeks ago we were on the streets of Mexico City and saw what can only be described as “spray paint art”. It was amazing. For a scant $3.50 a masterpiece was created using spray paint, fire and a palette knife. It was late evening after having met the Fargo team…

With last week dedicated to English Camp, Christina jumped right into the action. While she didn’t teach English, she did develop a special relationship with Diena and Soni, watching over them with tender loving care. Also of note, Christina lost a tooth on Saturday and the tooth rat showed up with money.
Maria has been teaching English with a Canadian couple for a few weeks now and continued to help out at the camp. We can see her making friends through it all and envision wonderful things from her giving heart. The end of the camp wasn’t so much fun for as she got a huge cut on her toe while playing on the cancha. No stitches were required but it was definitely sore for awhile.
Daniel played in his first club game with a Mexican team. Yep, he suited up for the BUAP Lobos (the wolves) playing the first half in their 2-0 win. It was an exciting day and came as a result of a lot of hard work and training. Being on the team has been a good experience for Daniel in many ways. And how did he celebrate this first game and win? By coming home and washing the van and back porch.

Maria's earrings are so pretty! :) It's great that Daniel got that opportunity. Did Christina have to use alot of Spanish with the kids while she was with them? Is the team still there now?
