Team from oklahoma

Last week we had a team of 45 from 1st Pres. Church of Edmond OK. We built a house for a young couple named Daniel, Carmen, and their 6month old son Sammy. We built the foundation the week before and the cement delivery didn't come to fill the floor so we built the house and did the floor after the team had left. It was over 100 degrees every day and we consumed about 40 gallons of water a day. The team did a bike clinic and had the kids bring their bikes for much needed repairs like tires, tubes, peddles or seats. They were so excited to get their wheels back in running order. A VBS was held after the bike clinic and crafts and games for the kids. Scott Kincaid who is called Oscar now, took part of the team to do a drywall and insulation project at a church a few miles from the colonia. The team was a real blessing to us and the people in the colonia. They also painted Aqua Viva, Our good friend Pastor Victors church and then started painting the fence along the road and his house inside the old kitchen. Paula and I stayed at the Christian Retreat Center about 20 miles from our house with the team. We drove old Bessie our R.V. to the facility and plugged it into one of the site plug ins but the A/C was not working. We were so tired when we got back there the first night we slept there anyhow. The next night we moved to one of the parks units with A/C. Hopefully the repairs are not major to fix our a/c. We have another team coming next week to stay and work at an orphanage in Reynosa. Oscar is going to stay on site with the team so there might not be anything for Paula and I to do, so we'll just go over to the colonia and find someone to bless. Pastor Victors son Iliel has a tumor on his face and they have no money or insurance to pay for any medical treatment. We are praying and also asking you to pray for him and if god puts it in your hearts to send some money for him, make checks to Sons Of Salvations and on the memo write Medical outreach.
