THE THREE AMIGOS


Three good friends together working again!
 Apolinar, Marcelino and Lloyd are working together again at the church!  This is a great event and everyone is very happy.

Apolinar is a walking miracle.  He not only improves daily, but he's spending his days working at the church.  Physically he can't do much, but he is valuable to us as a supervisor or maestro as they are called in Mexico.  He gathered a work crew, helped us negotiate for labor costs and figured amounts of materials we needed.  Best of all, he is a presence on the job to make sure things are done correctly.

Carlos, his stepson is working on the job under his guidance.  The money they earn will help with their expenses.  Many people in Nuevo Progreso are surprised to see him alive after such a horrible accident last July.

Still unable to straighten his left arm, he uses a lot of lotions and creams on his scars.  He wears long sleeves for protection against the sun.  But work is the best medicine for Apolinar!
