Every day, the temps are hovering around 100 degrees and the humidity is oppressive. None the less, we started digging hole for the posts to build a fence around the lot next door, to put a small playground for the ministry. I had some great helpers, and they finished most of it the day I had another eye doctor appointment Friday. We still need a few loads of dirt to fill in the back of the lot.
Paula's sewing class continues to crank out the quilts. We sold several last night as a team from Alabama working at New Life with Wayne and Dianne. They took us out to supper to introduce us to them, to give them some options for future missions trips.
We spent yesterday afternoon in the colonia visiting several families to get direction on who will receive houses with this summer's groups in June, July and August. There are several new families building make shift houses in the colonia. There is a new colonia of squatters just outside of Nopalera. There's probably 200 pallet houses that have been built in the last month. We don't plan on building there for a year or two to allow them to get water and electricity first.
Tomorrow, 7 of us fly to Mexico City to meet with the National Human rights director of Mexico. We trust that God has opened this huge door, to obtain favor in our ministry needs. Favor with God and man is what we declare. Jaime Mayorga and Macedonio are going representing Melodys Orphanage, Shawn and Carla Estes are the directors of Project Fortify meeting the needs of Kids with cancer, supporting an orphanage, and various outreaches at the local garbage dump. Sergio who helps us everyday, as well as Paula and I. We hope to raise awareness of our different ministries as well as many others that we partner with.
We can't thank all of you enough, that support us and other ministries around the world. Sewing seeds into God's kingdom is the best investment choice we can make. Every time I tried to invest in the stock market before we became missionaries, I always lost. But since we started investing in The Kingdom of God, we have enough for all God has inspired us to do!!!
