Translation time!

Sorry to those of you who don't speak Spanish watching the last video- I uploaded it from my new phone (which I'm still figuring out), and really didn't have a way to type translation while posting. However, now for your literary pleasure, is Raul's story, translated to English:

For the next time we are ready to bring more.

The 18^th?? –No, we’re coming tomorrow. (In reference to more groups visiting the desert)

Ok, I’m going to tell you a story. Sergio and I, one time at this place. We were here one afternoon. We were here putting water at this camp. And over in a spot I saw something like white hoses or pipes; I said look Sergio. He said it was a viper- I said no, it’s just something white. So Sergio picked up a stone and tossed it over to the thing.

I saw—I was sleeping/resting, taking a nap cause it was so hot out. Whatever it was woke up and it was black with red stripes and really long and big. It lifted it’s head up and was over here; we had thought it was just tubes, but we hadn’t really seen. It looked at us and we went running back to the truck. We argued about whose turn it was to fill up the water barrel; we had to fill up the tank no matter what.

While I have never seen a snake out in the desert, I'm certain it happens; though the men putting water out in the desert certainly don't seem to be afraid of anything.


As part of my job here with Frontera de Cristo (www.fronteradecristo.org), I am helping to re-do our fliers and informational handouts that describe all of our partner ministries. As soon as those get started, I'll be posting some more up-to-date information of all of the ministries I have been working with while here in Agua Prieta, Mexico.

Keep the comments coming please...I want to know what's happening at home too!
