We started Monday, and battled very strong winds both Monday and Tuesday . Blanca porch was done on the first day, and everything else was ready by days end on Wednesday .
Yesterday we held our monthly food outreach at the Community Center , so the Crew could distribute the shoe box gifts they brought. We started with worship and prayer before the Doctors Without Borders arrived to hold a clinic and give info about their free clinic in Reynosa .
170 families were there on a chilly morning . Most of the kids were in school and the per school kids got all the gifts. Many came forward for prayer for various reasons , one of which was the whole colonia was grieving the loss of two sisters killed in a car accident, that leaves 5 kids without their mothers. So sad!!
After the despensa , Shawn and Carla Estes took the Crew to the garbage dump in Reynosa to bless those that live and work in the dump. Paula and I stayed behind to get everything loaded for the house dedication .
When the Crew came back, we headed to the dedication. The food the family prepared was ready, so we ate first and then dedicated the house. Roy Day shared scripture, Pastor Jaime and Pastor Antonio both shared a word with the family, and Blanca was reduced to tears and re committed her life to Christ and her son in law prayed to receive the gift of salvation . What a GREAT DAY!!! The whole family was so blessed by the entire team all week. Two ladies from Michigan joined us for the week as their scheduled mission trip was cancelled and they came anyhow. Sabina and Kari we're a huge blessing and a great help on the build. George Bladey joined us yesterday and know Sebinas father in law in Michigan. It's a small world afterall.
The week before last, Paula and I were blessed with an all expense paid trip to South Carolina to join the generous couple for a few days. A great time indeed.
