Visiting old friends

Paula and I left this morning to go to diez de mayo, the colonia we had built in for years with Roland. It was good to visit some people we had built homes for to see how they were doing. The hurricane came and went and life goes on in the colonias. The babys that have been born to the girls are all growing and still smiling. One little boy who is Anna's, we built her family a home over 6 years ago, is 4 years old and doesn't talk yet. I played with him for a while with his toy car and he and his sister laughed a lot. We headed for Grandmas house to say Hi. Georgia and her husband are the only people I ever baptized and that was in a wash tub and 5 gallons of water some 4 or 5 years ago. They still rejoice in that opportunity to get baptized. I gave Pops my big straw sumbrero, his last one Scott had given him had worn out. We made our way to Nopelera to see if Beto and Carmelo had finished the work on our van. They repaired a dent and some rusty areas and then polished the whole thing. Man it looks like a different van. I gave them each 50 bucks and naturally they said it was to much but I insisted that it was well worth the 3 days they worked on it. We ordered the ready mix cement truck to pour a floor tommorrow, we have to do it without Pastor Victor, but Eliazar said he could do it. Scott, Lisa and the kids came for tomales,rice,steak and mexican coca-cola tonight they are doing well and looking forward to taking on thier full time position at an orphanage, Lisa teaching english and music and Scott heading up the maint. and running the teams that come and stay on site to do work projects. I'll surely miss them on our projects in the colonia. Please pray for them and us for the provision we need to keep doing what God has called to here in Mexico. God Bless You All and good day!!
