Today our adopted granddaughter Mimi turned 9 along with her cousin Becky. They were both born on the same day only hours apart, so we celebrated both of their birthdays today with another grand feast, tres leches that Paula made and of course a pinata. The girls were all dressed up and full of joy as they opened their presents and then blew out the candles on the cake. Many of you wished her a happy birthday and we passed those well wishes on to her.
Lucky for Enrique Ruiz, his sons Nehamia, Daniel and Isaiah and his Father Estaban when they chose to stop by on their way back to Chicago from Gerratero, MX. They spent then night last night and then came to the colonia to see things after their 5 year absence. They built a couple houses some years back and just had to visit the colonia. Well no one comes here without being put to work, so they helped us bag up some beans and load them into Pastor Salas car. We also took them down to the family that we are building a house for next week. It had rained really hard this morning, so we took the big truck over with four wheel drive. While on the way to deliver the roofing, we encountered some very deep mud. No problem, I'll just switch to 4X4 mode and cruise right through,NOT!! It's not working. Man was I slinging some mud trying to out of that situation, and had a few more scary moments before we made it out. Don't know what s wrong, but something might have been disconnected with the trans work. We made it back to our place in the colonia just in time for the great meal Ruthy had made.
I had bought several beds for Pastor Jaime' because he ministers in a colonia that flooded really bad last week and many people lost all their stuff, so were trying to help out as much as we can. A dry bed is a good start to getting your life back together after a flood. I'll get more as soon as the company makes them.
