Los Cerritos village church



Aaron, Adela, and their daughter. They live in the village. We stopped and visited them while out in the village this morning checking the progress on the church.



Rows of garlic in Aaron's garden. He has a large beautiful garden with amazingly straight rows.
 Aaron has been totally blind for many years.

The fragrance of this orange tree in Aaron's garden was almost intoxicating. The hummingbird loved it also!

Looking out the church window towards water reservoir.

The metal doors are in. Raul, the contractor, will now start work on the metal grates in the windowsto secure the building from any theft.

The wall is back up! We were so excited today to see this and to see that the steel doors were built and in place. This church and village are very dear to us as Jeff has been a part of this project since its beginning when the land was originally purchased for the church.

As I was walking around the church property I could hear the faint sound of a very familiar song playing off in the distance. Between the crow of a rooster, the bark of a dog, or the baaa of a sheep, I heard Simon and Garfunkels "Sound of Silence" playing. I wondered where it was coming from and who was listening to it. Who might be living out in this remote area?

There are many produce fields on the way out to the village. Notice the tires at the ends of the rows. They are there to burn for heat to keep the crops warm, as the early morning temps have been very near freezing.

There were lots of ranchers out on horseback today herding their livestock. This is always of interest to me as it brings back memories of my Dad doing this same thing with his cattle.
