Hulls Grove church left and The Power Ministry guys arrived Sunday night , I took them to the border to get Visas to go to Big Heart Orphanage in the mountains near Saltillo , Monday. We drove the 3-1/2 hours, ate lunch, toured the orphanage and then drove back 3-1/2 hours. It was their only opportunity to visit the new orphanage. They are busy scouting out opportunities for January. They have assigned us a team of 10 or 12 like last year to build a house.
Sergio, Andres, Jaime and a couple others finished building and setting the trusses on Melodys Orphanage. We installed the purlins Tuesday before the rain, and got the roofing on Wednesday. It's going to be a great space for them. 24 X 28.
We had hundreds of coats donated and we took a lot of them over yesterday, just in time for a 30 degree drop in temperature. Travis and Rick Caywood brought us a whole truckload of food. 13 pallets of beans and 15 pallets of snack foods. Chips, Takis, Popcorn, Gateraid, water. A lot!! We had to pay for the beans ( First time in a while), but at 19cents a pound, $4200 bought a lot of beans.
A Huge repair on the diesel truck. All the front end parts, shocks, hubs, ball joints. $1500.00 later, I have a new front end.
We're praying about the new opportunities to serve the orphanages in Mexico. Home building in the colonia is non existent with no teams, or donations to build, so we're making sure that the orphanages have everything they need, and we'll be supporting them with any excess support we have received above our personal needs. We need those of you who support us, to please keep up the good work, knowing that even though we don't build as many houses, we still hold our monthly food outreach, meet the needs of people in the colonia and countless other people in Mexico, as far as Chiapas. Thank you for your sacrifice to the poor and orphans.
