My truck was overcome with heat exhaustion again the other day when we sat in the line at the border for and hour and a half. By the time we cleared the border, my transmission overheated again and lost all of its fluid. I pulled out my Good Sam Roadside Assistance card and called the number on the back. Within an hour,we were loading up the truck and hauling it to the mechanic that rebuilt the trans the last time this happened, just a few months ago. He thinks it needs a bigger trans cooler, so well see on that. No charge for the tow this time.
My cousin Brenna Hepburn is "spending" a week with us and yesterday in between sewing lessons with Paula, I took her to help me put a sun shade up for some friends in the colonia. It was really hot, but we were done in about an hour or so. we also drove down to the blue schools in the colonia and measured a few things that we could help the school get ready for this years classes. They need a wall built to divide one class room into two, and they need several windows as well. Many windows don't open and it's very hot inside. Mice are also a big problem, getting into the food in the kitchen where the lunches are made for the kids every day.
Paula's sewing class continues to make the most beautiful quilts, and yesterday was no exception. as several women worked on quilts, one lady, Naomi, was making uniforms for her kids that start school next week. They really enjoy seeing the fruit of their labors. Paula continues getting all kinds of materials and sewing equipment donated to her ministry. God surely blesses her yeses when she said yes to starting this class and reaching out to the women in the colonia.
How often does God answer a prayer before it even leaves your lips??? This past week, we have been praying for God to provide for Juannas needed surgery. We had a lady call us and tell us that she has a prayer group that will spend the next 24 hours praying for this need specifically and for us as well. I got a text from one of our supporters the other day and he said that God had led him to send us 5 times what him and his wife usually send us every month, and he didn't know why, but he did know the prompting of the Holy Spirit. So he just sent it, just believing that there was a need and he wanted to be obedient. Now were not talking a few bucks here, were talking $500.00. A few days later he read our blog where we had asked people to help with this need and he called and said, there's the confirmation of why God led him to send the money days before the request went out. Yesterday another brother e-mailed me and put a check for $1000.00 in the mail as soon as he saw the blog. OUR GOD IS SO MUCH BIGGER AND BETTER AND TRUSTWORTHY THAN WE COULD EVER IMAGINE!!!!!!!! JUST DO WHAT HE SAYS TO DO, DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, DON'T PUT TOGETHER A COMMITTEE TO DO DO A STUDY, DON'T EVEN PRAY ABOUT MEETING NEEDS OF OTHERS, JUST DO IT AND TRUST GOD.
