GOD IS SO AWESOME

Since we arrived back last week from our great and fruitful missions trip to central Mexico, we have a refreshed heart. It's good to do something different in ministry. When we arrived back, we found someone building on the vacant land next to the community center. They said they bought it from the President of the colonia. We told them that she said we could have it for a playground for the kids. Long story short and God's intervention, we bought the land back from the family and they purchased another property.
Also while we were gone, the guys finished our bathroom in the colonia. Man is it beautiful. 9 years without our own bathroom. We spent the week organizing upcoming building projects, the guys are building a house in Mexico now, and we have another planned for the team from Moraine Valley Church on the 17th. A family lost thiers house and all thier possessions last week in a fire, while they were at church. They saw the flames from across the canal, but couldn't put the fire out. We gave them a bed, some clothes, and food. We'll plan on building them a house in a few weeks, Lord willing.
We're packing up again for a trip to Naples Florida and speaking at Naples Christian Church on Sunday. They are sendiyng a team here in August, to "spend themselves " on behalf of the poor. I think its ironic that we get invited to share about our ministry with a church that doesn't really know us, and our church in Texas, not once in 9 years attending there.
Anyhow, a supporter has given us use of a family Condo in Naples, our kids and precious Granddaughter Lea are coming down for a few days, to celebrate my 60th birthday on the 10th. What a great Birthday gift.
Trying to get things done around here, Paula watered all the trees and flowers, I dropped the taxes off at the accountant, picked up a skid of water at Sams Club, got some $ from the bank, packed the golf clubs, oh yes, there will be some golf in Florida, and now we're packing our suitcases. Love you all, thanks for the prayers and support. Paula threw an early surprise party for my birthday and lots of people in our Mexican lives came. David Garcia gave me his old guitar that I loved playing. Blessed to be a blessing.
