Staying across the border for the week with Hulls Grove Baptist Church really allows us so much more time to spend with the people who live there. Saturday night we attended a Quincinera, Sunday, Church at Gracia Abundante Church in Reynosa, Sunday afternoon we held our food outreach to the Colonia and hundreds attended. Monday we all helped build Santa's house. Tuesday we finished the house, some of the team got up at 4am to attend morning prayers at Gracia Abundante Church with David Garcia. Not me though, I was sleeping. After finishing the house, Pastor Jaime and I went to Home Depot and ordered all the tile to complete the floors in the Orphanage. That night we had 40 people over for supper. Every family that the team has built a house forover the years, was invited to join us for a meal. It was such a great time.
Yesterday we stopped by the Orphanage to show the team. The tile had already been delivered and the men were installing it already. We met up with Pastor Willie and his wife at La Differente restaurant for lunch. He's the Pastor at Gracia Abundante Church, and invited us to join them for lunch. Another great meal at our favorite restaurant. I invited them to join us for the house dedication, where we enjoyed a great celebration of God's provision for Santa. The neighbors prepared a meal for us, WHAT, we just ate! But so we didn't offend them, we ate again. Today Children's Haven Orphanage for lunch, followed by two of Paula's sewing class members getting baptized at Big Heart Orphanage in their pool, followed by, you guessed it, more food.
