We had wood delivered to Yolandas house over a week ago, but the wet weather kept them from getting it all painted. I had several guys willing to help us build it because the family that was coming to build it could not come. We promised her a house by Christmas, and she'll have it.
We only had one day, Thursday to build, rain called for Fri, Sat, Sun. We got a lot done and threw a tarp over the rafters to keep the wood dry. Our Sunday school teacher Lee came, as well as Shawn, Mathew, Andres,Sergio, and Phil Chain. We're going to work on it tomorrow, but Tuesday, I have another Laser surgery on my eye.
Thanks to our generous supporters,we have purchased a lot of toys for the children in Mexico that otherwise would not get a present. 350 soccer balls, and 100 dolls for the kids, 200 blankets, 100 umbrellas, slippers and some purses for the ladies. Jaime crossed most of it for us, and we'll get the rest over by January 6th when we'll have our monthly food outreach at the Community Center.
Paula had her Christmas party for the sewing class on Friday. In spite of the cold and rain, I think there was about 50 people there. They all had a great time, laughing and playing games. Sara Vargas flew in from North Carolina just to spend the day with the girls.
We had our Sunday school class Christmas party at our house last Sunday. We had 30 people here, sharing great food, fellowship, and a few songs.
I licked the last if the 130 Christmas cards shut today, how about flavored glue! Anyhow, it's the only newsletter we send out, I'll post one on the blog this week. It's been another record year as we are in the process of building our 27th house.
Thanks for the prayers and support to make it all possible.
