MELODYS ORPHANAGE IS BUILDING THIER DREAM

   Jaime and the kids continue thier building efforts on the orphanage. The new room is under roof, the stairs are built and the plumbing work is coming along. We can't wait to see the progress first hand in a few weeks. 
   Paula and I found a townhouse in Indiana and pending a passing grade on the inspection,  we will be Hoosiers. 4 to six months in the summer here, will give us the opportunity to work with another ministry helping the poor in Chicago and the surrounding areas,  as well as seeing family and friends. The taxes in Illinois made Indiana a much more affordable choice. 
    We spent the week of the 4th of July with family, camping in Monticello Indiana. Herb and Carrol Moering came over for a few days to join us. They live in the same park as us in Texas and spend time up north out of the Texas heat.
  We dodge a bullet in South Texas as hurricane Beryl 🌀  took a turn away from us and unfortunately made a mess out of the Houston area. The same storm made a mess out of the area we camped in, but we left before it arrived. 
  It's been great to attend Moraine Valley Church the last few weeks. Last week they had a tailgate party and there was so much food that people brought.  It was great.  We will be hosting a pizza party at Moraine in September and share an update on the ministry and orphanage. Not sure of the dates yet.
Sergio, China, Pastor Juan, Saul, and Pastor Jaime held our monthly food outreach  last week and will continue to serve the people in Reynosa while we're gone. They are a real blessing to us and the ministry.
