They started building Tuesday and Wednesday. We drove 12 hours Wednesday, after a round of golf and lunch in Baton Rouge, LA. It was well worth the short nights sleep to go to Mexico and meet Juan Pablo, and see the excitement on his face, as the house came together.
We almost finished everything on Thursday and had a few things to do before the decorations could go in. Juan Pablos mom made a delicious meal for us, and then we all gathered under the porch to sing a few songs, share the Word, and then a powerful time of prayer over the family .
What joy filled his face when Juan Pablo climbed the stairs and saw his own bed and several gifts for him. His little sister was equally excited to see her bed and new doll house.
We're so glad we made it back in time for this special build. Shawn and Carla have been working with the kids with cancer in Reynosa, helping meet needs associated with the scourge of cancer in these kids. There are around 65 families that they help with travel expenses, medicine, food, and now housing needs. If there's a need for another house for a family , we committed to build it.
Thanks for the prayers and support as we continue to meet the needs of the least of these in Mexico and Texas.
