Yesterday Aresele and her four kids, Maria Isabelle, Juan, Imena and Sophia gladly took possession of their new home. The smiles on their faces lit up as we handed them the keys. All the women gathered around them and prayed a blessing over them as they start a new life in a "real" house. The reality of a dry, comfortable, clean home is something we all take for granted in the U.S. , but this family knows that have been touched by the hand of God.
Many members of her family were there yesterday to celebrate. Her mom, sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews all came to see this miracle unfold. David and Luzma came and led us in worship as always. They made us the traditional dedication meal, chicken and mole'. We couldn't have built this one without the help of some Facebook friends that saw the pictures of this family we posted a few weeks ago and couldn't resist the Holy Spirit prompting them to donate to get them a house.
Today we had a meeting with a very nice women at the Mayor of Reynosas office about getting some help on the often impassable road. Jaime' set up the meeting for us, and we had a great visit with her and we now pray for Gods Favor. After the meeting we had breakfast downtown next to the Plaza we use to visit quite often with groups. It's all redone and quite nice. Once we returned to the colonia, what do you think we see??? A Caterpillar Road Grader going down through the colonia, scrapping the bottom road, that had been impassable for weeks. Praise the Lord. Now I'm sure that this didn't happen as a result of our meeting just two hours prior to this, BUT GOD KNOWS!!!
He knows our needs before we even ask. He knows our thoughts before we think them (scary). He sees the end and the beginning all at the same time. I love thinking about Gods Awesomeness!!!
Paula and I were planning on packing up and leaving Thursday, but a 3 inch rainfall yesterday afternoon and evening brought water pouring into the office I sit in typing this. I thought I had fixed the problem over a month ago, and have had a lot of rain since, but it was sure leaking yesterday, so I have a couple guys coming over Thursday to pull the roof apart and find the problem. So we might get outta here Friday Lord willing. Sergio charged up the A/C on the R.V., and I fixed a few lights Sunday, bumped the tires and shes ready to roll.
