IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU ,JESUS AND ALL THIS IS FOR YOU

    The last two days have been all about Jesus, and what He commanded all of us to do. Take care of widows and orphans, for in this, the Father is well pleased. Aresele is a widow of sorts. The father of her 4 children had left them all for reasons unknown to me so in my mind, they are orphaned and she is widowed by abandonment. She works everyday to provide for Isabele, Juan, Imena and Sophia. Her house was nothing short of a disaster. Leaky roof, walls with huge holes, no door to speak of, and only two holes in the wall covered with screen to allow some air to get in. Well that's all changed now.
   In spite of the hot temperatures, we managed to get it all built in just two days. Yesterday we had so much help, that we were almost in each others way. Several uncles and cousins of the kids came to help. At one time we counted 21 kids and 11 adults all hanging around the site of the new house. The uncles all got up on the roof with Johnny and Me and before long, we finally had some shade over us. One uncle, Lionel was bare foot up on the hot tin roof.
   Paula kept the other uncles busy with painting, and shelves and trim boards. We worked from 9 in the morning until 6 o'clock or so. A long day for us especially on a Saturday, but it was well worth it. The hug I got from Arelese and her kids was priceless. I can't wait for Monday, when we dedicate the house after we finish with the electric wiring.
   We can't do this alone, our partners make it all possible to be the hands and feet of Jesus. And we can't do it without all the help building the house as well. I wouldn't be doing it without God providing for all the help we need to make it happen. I know sometimes we just post pictures without a story, but why don't you look at the pictures and write your own story in your mind. The faces of the people always tell a story, and we have seen faces light up the last few days, as they watch God provide for them.
    Were looking forward to packing up the R.V. and hitting the road toward the end of the week, Lord willing. I'm not even sure which way were going yet, I just know were going. Don't forget the pizza party at Moraine Valley Church June 28th at 1pm. All other plans are open for change!!!
