...share your food with the hungry and provide the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked clothe him... Isaiah 58:7
110 DEGREES IN THE SHADE!!!!!!!
Today was by far the hottest day of the year. The humidity was also higher than usual. We went and bought the roofing for the house were going to start on saturday. We got the green light at the border so no import tax. We waited at our house in the colonia for the delivery truck bringing the wood we need, to pass by so we could lead him to the lot down the road about a mile.We spent the time talking to Elva the colonia President and her husband Eliazar. We shared our feelings about how difficult it is when it comes time to choose a family to recieve a house when God blesses us with the resources to build one. I asked them to help the pastors in the colonias to aid in the selection process.Paula and I don't even want to be involved in the process other than observing. Since we spend so much time there and are available to help in whatever way God would have us help, we don't want to be looked at as thier way to get a new home. Four families that got new homes in the last year built by some other missions teams were sold and they are all moving. Not that there is anything wrong with selling thier houses but we would like to figure out a way to have them ask us if there's a family needing a home and we could possibly buy it and give it to a needy family. We just need Gods wisdom on this matter. Oh well, we have all the materials for Clemetes house on site and will start sat. I sure hope it cools down to the 90's by then. Adios!!!
