A flurry of activity filled our week as we prepared for today's celebration honoring the kids in Mexico, We poured a slab of concrete for the band that is coming from Jaimes church in Reynosa. We managed to get enough toys, beans and rice across the border to meet the needs of every family. we also made all the necessary preparations for the Moraine Valley Church team that comes on the 11 of May to build a house for Rogelio, Dayaneeda and their two kids Ruby and Jose.
   Paula's sewing class is really growing, with at least 10 women coming twice a week. They have a lot of quilts made and ready to be purchased. They put a lot of time and effort into these quilts, so if any one wants to buy one, text or call  Paula at 708-275-9572. She'll send photos to select from, maybe we should post them on the blog and then you can see them. At any rate, it seems that some people want to get these as cheap as possible, because we just ask to give what you feel like giving, but I'm asking you to bless the poor with your best gift.
    Today we are also giving every Mom a bottle of shampoo, a hand fan, or a little blanket as a gift for Mothers Day next week.
