Blocks Blocks and more Blocks

Carmello. Raul and I were running around for three hours, buying materials, placing orders for wood and cement to get delivered, ordering windows, and picking up the door, all hung in a frame and ready to be installed. We picked up some chicken at Sorriana at went back to the colonia to eat. We just finished eating and the truck with over 400 cinder blocks pulls up. It's105 degrees and life isn't looking real good right now!! We led the truck thru Colonia Nopalera to Colonia Union where were going to help the family build thier new house.In the states, these trucks would have a little spyder lift truck to off load the four pallets, not here! I jumped on the truck bed along with the drivers helper and started tossing the 26lb blocks two at a time onto the truck bed and Carmello, Beto, and the driver stacked them on the ground. It took about 40 minutes and left us with a few blisters on our hands and soaked with sweat. Next time bring gloves. We unloaded the other stuff in my van and headed for Colonia Flores De Mayo. Beto and Carmello wanted us to meet a Lady that really lived in deplorable conditions. They had taken them a bunch of pallets to tear apart and use the wood to improve thier living conditions. Well as God would have it, it was Yolanda. We had stopped by her house after Hurricane Dolly and she had told us that some people from Louisianna had been there and said they would try to raise the money for a new house for them. After we left, Beto said he didn't want the new house we were planning on building him and his family, he wanted this family to get the house instead. As I type this, tears are welling up in my eyes as I continue to be amazed at Gods amazing Grace. Beto said "don't worry about it, I'm going to be living in a mansion one day and walking on streets of gold, this family is really poor. Now this is a guy thats lives in a one room house with his wife and three kids, thier seperate kitchen is a shack with a dirt floor on a hill with rocks leveling the table and he says these other people are really poor. Oh Lord, help us to be so selfless as Beto. Gotta Go, battery going low Adios!!!
