Bicycles & Dance

This morning we spent the better part of two hours driving around the city with our three girls looking for a dance studio we were told was pretty good. We did finally find the studio and they took us into one of the rooms to see a performance practice...turns out it was a performance in belly dancing...they looked like 10, 11, 12, & 13 year old street walkers. Joyce and I quickly decided we didn't need that kind of help. The culture here is amazing; even in the play yesterday some of the children were dressed in very racy clothes portraying a skit where they were after boys and using their 'wares' to capture them...it just seems to be accepted at every level. Guess the U.S. isn't that far behind.

This afternoon I went out to pick up the 'new' bicycle from a repair shop. Mauricio and Gershon decided to ride double even though they had been expressly forbidden to do so. You know they did it anyway and when they saw me coming toward them they tried quickly dismount and in the process wrecked the bike tearing up brakes, handle bars, etc. We had just been talking in our morning Bible Study about how you can't hide sin, that it always gets revealed and here they were caught in the act...and they knew it! Well the bike is fixed, but they won't be on it this week; they get to watch Fabiola ride all to herself. Normally they take turns on it, but not this week!

Keep praying, keep giving, keep coming, keep sharing the opportunity,

Bob, Joyce, Gershon, Fabiola, Mauricio, Rosa, Antonio, Karen, Cesar, Angel, Jesus, & Pedro
