Public Baths












Monday we had off for Mother´s Day and we were going to go visit Miguel. He had boiling coffee accidentally spilled on him about a week before and they were keeping him in the house to heal and not get it dirty. But he came! We were so excited! The burn area does look pretty bad but it is getting better daily. It was on the left side of his head, his ear and a little on his cheek. They didn´t take him to the Dr. but at this point about all I could do was put some Neosporin on it and tell him to keep it real clean (very difficult with dirt roads). We already had plans to go on a picnic to the near by swimming pool so we all took a walk. It´s really pretty, recently renovated with waterfalls, walkways, picnic tables, and huge brightly painted jugs of water and other figures. On our way home Mateo decided he´s big enough now to walk himself, and then Beto decided to throw him in the fountain for a ¨bath¨. That´s when I pushed Beto in too. Let´s just say by the end of the day we were all wet. We´d not gone swimming becuase the water was really dirty, but we were wet from the fountain or water bottles by the end of the day.
Please pray for Miguel and our role in his life.

  1. That is an awesome photo of Beto throwing Mateo into the fountain. I will be praying for Miguel to heal quickly. He looks like such a sweet boy and I am so happy that God has but both of you in his life for a positive influence. Sounds like you had a wonderful day off.

  2. Hey that's kind of interesting to get Monday off for Mother's day. What's the background for that?
