After a few airport delays and canceled flights, Roger and Paulette made it down here last week. We had been wanting them to come and visit and they finally came. I'm pretty sure getting out of Chicago in the middle of winter had something to do with it. These two have been very generous toward our ministry helping the poor, because we all have like minds SPEND YOURSELF ON BEHALF OF THE POOR!!! Roger uses his business to fund a homeless shelter and two soup kitchens in Chicago. Thousands of hot meals are severed every month.
Tuesday Paula and I took Roger and Paulette to Mexico to visit the colonia and unload some plywood in my truck. No one comes to Mexico and doesn't help us with one project or another. Touring the colonia had them asking many questions as we showed them all the houses that God had allowed us to build. We finished the tour showing them the two houses that the Carpenters Crew built last month, and headed back across the border.
We headed over to Padre Island for two days and nights of rest and golf. It remained quite cold and windy for our stay there, but we did play two rounds of golf and enjoyed a lot of laughs together.
Saturday we had our monthly food outreach and despite the very cold temps, 125 families came for food, clothes and a message of hope.
