~This afternoon after school we took the kids and walked down to the Mennonite store. We found out its really quite close to us if we just walk the back streets instead of going way out and around on main roads. They have the best huge cinnamon rolls (we had some at school yesterday during our break) GOOD cheese (eh eh Juli!!) and soft serve ice cream. O yummm.:) They also have a nice pile of Spanish books, kids books, school books and Bibles.
~ On our way home from the store, happily licking our melting cones we came upon two women and a little boy, the one lady pushing a huge broken down old rusty wheel barrow with an almost flat tire. It was piled high with fire wood and apparantly heavy. She would run along pushing it, then prop the tipping side with a board before sitting down to rest. Mateo offered to push it for her. She was grateful. So there we were walking along this dusty street. Matthew(Mateo) with the loaded wheelbarrow, the ladies and boy and Jillian beside him and then the rest of us trailing along behind. Ocho cuadros- 8 blocks she had to go. Then an older lady and little girl were pulling another load of wood. They stopped to talk to us, asking if we went to Mikes school and what are names are etc.. I love the interaction with the people! It made our day to help them.:) The man of the family or friend, whoever he was came along after 3 or 4 blocks and with a smile took over the load.
