Los Metiches de CVE

Today we heard a loud bang and our eyes turned to the highway. Within a few minutes we realized there was a cement truck overturned and a smashed car. We called the emergency services and then tried to get to the highest point possible. The kids wanted to run across the highway to check out the action, but I had to resist my own metiche spirit and we stayed within the fence.




We stayed put and Lupita led those in the treehouse in prayer for the accident victims.


The boys were jealous of the girls' tree house as it is much closer to the highway.



One of the girls commented, "Look at all those people, they are blocking what the police are trying to do." To which Lupita laughed and responded, "HA! Look at the mote in your own eye!" :) (Effective lesson Jeff!)

unimportant side translation error-The word for mote in Spanish is only one letter off from the word mustache, so it took me a little bit to realize she wasn't yelling, "look at the mustache in your own eye!

We saw three people extracted from the car and taken in the ambulances, but, praise the Lord, it looks like everyone survived.

The heart of God was touched by the prayers of the children, you helped them with a "life lesson" that they will always remember.
God bless you all. praying for you. Art/Twyla
