The longer I put off posting on the blog the harder it is to sum all that has been going on. Although I have tried ,unsuccessfully to post pictures because of the internet at the house, much has done. Paula and I spent last week on a the Family Life Cruise that was donated by some supporters. A 5 day retreat on board a Carnival Cruise Ship. We enjoyed the time away with 3 other couples, eating, laughing, worshiping and attending some great teaching seminars. We met some great people along the way and are grateful for the gift that was given us. It was kind of a world wind tour that ended to quickly.
Paula has yet to hold and kiss our granddaughter Lea, and as soon as time allows, she will be heading to Chicago to do just that. But for now at least, pictures and videos will have to do.
We got home Saturday night and the Carpenters Crew started building Jose and Josephinas house on Monday. Yesterday we all but finished most of the house and today we will put the finishing touches on it and dedicate it Thursday afternoon after a visit to an orphanage in Reynosa. It's amazing to watch Gods people work so hard in the heat and get the house built. Yesterday was in the 90's, but last night a cool front came through and we will enjoy the 70's today and tomorrow.
As we were building yesterday, Josephina was overwhelmed with emotion while talking with Carmelo and he brought her into the house with tears running down her face as she looked around. We all gathered around her and prayed a prayer of Thanksgiving for the great gift that is blessing her and her husband with.
Paula had her sewing class yesterday, with a few new faces joining in the class. The Net Menders did a lot of work on the kitchen in the Community Center. New cabinets, a stove, electrical wiring, tile, counter tops, and a soon to be installed water heater and sink. WHAT A BLESSING.
