10 days ago, a church from North Carolina came over on their way to do hurricane Harvey relief in the Houston area. They came and bagged up 10,000 gallon bags of beans and rice. What a huge blessing to us and the ministry. While they were busy bagging, Gator and I drove 25 miles to get a load of bottled water left over from hurricane Harvey.
A few days up in San Antonio at the beginning of the week, with Shawn and Carla Estes from Fortify Ministries. We returned Wed afternoon in time to unload 5 pallets of rice donated by Power Ministry. Within 2 days, 3 churches came an got 3 pallets of rice and 3 pallets of beans each.
The wood for the next house was delivered in the rain Friday, so we cut the studs and made the rafters, loaded it all on my trailer and delivered it to the farthest lot in the colonia, where Maria and her family live. They built their own foundation, with their own money!
Saturday night we had a Quincinero at the Community Center. A great blessing to the family, that was going to have it in the street at their house. It was drizzling most of the night, but at least 60 people came despite the rain. We didn't leave the colonia until midnight. It was a little Erie on the road to the downtown bridge. The resent violence had the roads empty of most cars.
Rain again today, we need to get things done around here to get ready to spend Thanksgiving with our family in Miner, Illinois, church at Moraine Valley Church on the 26th and back to Texas on the 28th. Our daughter Kristin and Lea will come back with us for a few days YEA!!!!
