It's been a week since we dedicated Cutbertos house, but it seems like yesterday. Everyone has gone back to their lives in Chicago, and Phoenix and we just keep on keepin on. We stopped by Cutbertos yesterday to give him an extra key to his house and I was greeted with a huge hug from him. The joy on his face is infectious. He is so happy to have his children sleeping in a dry, safe home free from the pests and rodents that plagued them. It's always a joy to see them with a renewed zest for the life they have been dealt living in the colonia. If only we could all be so grateful for everything God has provided us, despite the circumstances we find ourselves in.
  Carmelo and Eliazar poured Brawlia's foundation while we were up in San Antonio this past weekend and we stopped by her house to check the concrete and remove the forms. She is always smiling and so happy to be getting a new home for her husband and kids. They live on the other side of the canal, straight across from Cutbertos in the colonia Flora De Mayo96/*/ Our cat just fell off the ledge above the computer and broke the moniter screen, so I'll change them out and post later.
