Trying to sum up a week of seeing Jesus living through some extraordinary people is like trying to explain how much God loves you. It's possible, but it would take forever, and that's kinds what this week has been. Sure we built a house and dedicated it Sunday, sure the men from Mexico helped me last week get a jump start on the house, and sure we had had a wonderful time, but so much more happened and it all ended yesterday when we went to Melody Orphanage in Reynosa to work. The Casa Hogar is still a long way from being open, but there is work for many people for many months to join us in the effort of getting it opened. There are many kids in need of this place being open, and we;re doing what we can to help. While Joe, Barb, Kathy, Mark and Karen primed and painted upstairs, our ever faithful friend and partner Carmelo and I mixed at least a ton of concrete by hand to fill in the floor where the electric lines have been installed. Wow what a work out!!!
At the end of the work day, many people from Jaimes church came and brought chicken and beef to grill for us, and while all that was getting cooked, Nacho started playing his guitar and before long I grabbed mine in hopes of learning from this 40 year master of the strings. We had an awesome time playing together and Jaimes son joined us by banging out the rythem on his drum set. By far, the best time I have had since learning to play the guitar this year. Nacho is really great, and I have a lot to learn.
On a sad note Theresa came down from San Antonio to join us for the week and is currently in the hospital down here with severe colon blockage, so please pray for her as she allows God to work it for the good.
