A DAY IN THE LIFE OF.......

   Yesterday a youth Pastor named Brett brought three of his students down for a "scout out trip" for a summer missions trip here this year. They are from Naples Florida and were visiting a Retired Pastor from thier church, who now lives in San Antonio. They drove down Sunday night and Monday we spent the day on Reynosa Mexico.  We delivered Wood to the house we are building that burnt down in Colonia Juarez 5. We brought beans, rice and oil and had a small food outreach there. Brett, Angela and Laney played with the kids there. We then visited the Power Ministry work site, ate tacos, went back to the Colonia, dedicated the house the guys built, toured the colonia, stopped by the Community Center, then visited Big Heart Orphanage, showed the team around, ate enchiladas and then headed home. Whew, what a full day!!!! The team loved every minute of the day and booked thier week in July/August. Brett had met us 9 years ago and always had the desire to bring a team here to build a house. God gives you the desires of your heart if you just trust Him and wait!!!!
   Those guys left to go back to Florida, and Rick Caywood  pulled into the yard with 12 skids of pinto beans, 3 skids of corn, and two skids of bottled water. We waited until this morning to unload the truck because we had to meet the Power Ministry for supper at Rudy's Barbecue. So great to see the guys, many of whom we have gotten to know over the years. Marty asked me where my van was, an proceeded to fill it with new printed the shirts and soccer jerseys.  These guys are awesome and love serving the people in Mexico and us missionaries along the border.
   We unloaded Rick's truck this morning and Rick wanted to spend the day with us, so off we went to Mexico.  We went to Melody Orphanage first and gave Rick the tour, had coffee and sweet bread with Jaime and then Monserate came to see us. Love that kid! We finally got to the colonia and the girls in the sewing class were having thier Bible study, so we took the tour of the colonia, came home picked up a bunch of toys from another missionary and are supper courtesy of Rocket Rick Caywood.
