HOW WILL YOU AND I BE REMEMBERED?????

   Wednesday Paula and I attended a memorial service for the Father a friend and faithful supporter of our ministry. A few stories were told of how he lived his life. He got saved in college where he met his wife. At Olivet in Kankakee Il. They raised their family to know and love God. But Harold loved to go to Mexico and share the Love of Christ with the people there. Many many trips to the interior of Mexico hundreds of miles from home just to share Christ. So how will Harold be remembered?  BY WHAT WAS DONE FOR CHRIST, PERIOD!!! I didn't know Harold, but I know his son, and his son is the representation of his Father. Hmm, I believe Jesus was the exact representation of His Father according to the book of Colossians.

      Last Sat on our first visit back to the colonia, we stopped by a house dedication that Roy and Rebecca were doing with a group from Ft. Worth Tx. They come for just a couple of days and build a house. Trying to get caught up with everyone is hard to do in just an afternoon. There was Andreas new baby Violet, that needed some of Paulas attention. The first time Grandparents are David and Luzma. Many of you know them, they lead us in worship at the house dedications. They are all very excited as Paula and I are with the soon arrival of our first Grandchild Lea in February.
     Larry asked our daughter Kristin to marry him this week. Yeah. We were hoping they would tie the knot while we were in town last month, but there was a lot going on with Thanksgiving and the Baby Shower. So please pray for them as they have start their lives together and for Lea as well. We pray for grace from our supporters that we will be free to travel a little more frequently to Chicago and visit our grandchild. The sacrifice of family is one of the hardest things we endure in the Mission field. We get to see all the posts and hear all the news of how being a grandparent is the best thing ever. God will indeed provide us the opportunity to be involved in Lea's life.
     We stopped by Elio and Marias house where their new foundation is done and ready to be built on. I delivered the wood yesterday to their house and another, and while there, Maria was having some birth pains, so I drove them to the doctors office. She is due anytime now.
     We spent the last couple night is Mexico and Paula had Carmelo, Ruthy, Caleb, Mimi and I help decorate our house for Christmas. The girls from the sewing class helped decorate the Community Center yesterday, and next week they will help wrap the hundreds of gifts we have for the children that the Adams family had us purchase with the donation they made and will come on the 20th of Dec. to help us give them all out.
