JUST PASSING THROUGH,

A Mexican Pastor named Willie is the director for the United Methodist Churches in Northern Mexico and we have know Him for about six months. He called and asked if a team from United Methodist of Ardmore Oklahoma could spend the night, on their way to Rio Bravo Mx. They had been driving all day, so Paula fixed them a spaghetti dinner and we were glad to spend some time with them. They are spending several days in Mx, with some outreach and work projects planned. We moved two families into their new houses over the last few days. These are houses we have built and purchased when the families moved. It's kind of a recycling program we do now, so the houses don't sit empty. They can live there as long as they want, but if they move, the house is given to another family in need. We think we have every child that wants to go to school registered. It takes a lot of work with all the follow up and paperwork. 28 or 30 children was the last count, but we continue to look for more as we drive through the colonia. Today, The Way of the Cross Mission from Harlingen Tx. came for beans and left here with 200 bags, about 10 thousand pounds. We used to drive there and get food from them to hand out in Mx when we first moved here, now God has us supplying the suppliers.PRAISE THE LORD! Pastor Francisco came today to get some beans and rice to take all the way to Oahacca Mx about 20 hours away.
