12/05/07:   As you can see from the photo journal, I’ve had a chance to return to the Lutheran School several times, and I met with Guadalupe, the director, in  Sep, Oct, and Nov, to bring more donations and funds to continue our support of his project.  I also bought more handiwork items from the women of the church to sell at my concerts, and for other churches to sell for a profit, and have given them the extra funds from these sales.  With some of our surplus funds from the mission, we contracted to complete the classroom roof we began in July, and a new set of bathrooms for the school.  The roof is finished (and doesn’t leak!), the classrooms are painted and being used again, and the bathrooms should be finished before Christmas.  I am monitoring this progress, and will post updates later.  The place really looks great.  They have been great stewards of our post-mission resources.

Since documenting over 70 children for sponsorship during the mission, Marla Dixon and Christ the Shepherd Lutheran Church in Ortonville, MI, have started a child sponsorship program.  As of today, they have secured 36 sponsors, Praise Be to God!  Next week I am meeting with Guadalupe to give him another check from these sponsorships, and some letters for the children from their sponsors in the States.  Guadalupe is also incredibly grateful for our help, and we are planning to return to help the Colegio with another mission next summer.
