Dedication Day

Our education team taught more this morning with the folks who will continue educating after we leave. For some reason I didn't feel so well when we first got to Nueva Frontera. Maybe it was the bumpy 45 minute ride up the dusty road! After a while I felt better. 

The folks who had participated in the Crossing of the Red Sea story came back today with their own props. Aluminum foil to put on the soldiers arms and on the spears, sheets and other material for Moses to wear. It is great fun to see them get excited. They knew we wanted them to act out the story at the dedication so they wanted to do it right. 

We had lunch with Edwin Ramos' family at their house. Chicken soup, chicken, tortillas. Very good!

But the highlight of the day was clearly the dedication celebration. I have never experienced one like this! Mayor and water committee president, Danny Logan and a local pastor spoke. Certificates were given to the operators and the education folks. We acted out the crossing of the Red Sea. There was a toast using the purified water. Wow! It was great. 

Very tired tonight but feel that we have had a most productive week!
