A day in the Aldeas

Allan and I had an awesome opportunity to accompany Bill and Mary Collins this past Friday to their Agriculture Project in one of the nearby mountain villages. Their agriculture project is incredible. They have planted lots of different types of trees and plants and also have a farm of goats (for milk, cheese, fertilizer, etc.). The goal of the ag project is to teach the locals how to farm and maintain crops on their own so that they can have food all year round. It is so cool what they are doing. At the site of their ag project, they have built a building where groups of people from the villages can come and stay overnight to learn how to grow, take care, and maintain their crops. They use their land with the plants and goats to teach the men and women how to care for their OWN crops and goats.

On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Bill and Mary invited some of the youth from the villages to come and learn about a Silo project (how to dry corn and store it in a silo so they can have corn all year long to eat!). They asked Allan if he could come and teach some guitar lessons for a little bit of entertainment :) He did such a great job teaching guitar in Spanish! and the guys really loved it. It was also really cool just to get to see what they are doing out there with the people and teaching them how to sustain themselves. The Lord is fulfilling His promises through Bill and Mary and it was neat to see that! :)


Psalm 146:7
He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.

We can't wait to be there to celebrate with you and see our friends and family and see the amazingly beautiful campus of Chapel THRILLA. I miss that sweet sweet blue color :) HOLLLLA.
