110 DEGREES IN THE SHADE !!!!!!!

We had hoped the hottest days were behind us, wrongo. It was 120 degrees in the sun at the site of Antonio's and Yolanda's new house in Flores De Mayo. Raul and I checked on the delivery of blocks, gravel, cement and arena(sand) for the foundation at Trinidad's and Amelia's house. They are such a friendly couple and so happy to be getting a house. Alejandro is helping him build the foundation and at least they have plenty of shade on thier lot. Alejandro is the worship leader at Aqua Viva. We built him a house a few years ago in another colonia and has since moved to this part of Reynosa, and needed some work. We worked at Antonio's house for about two hours in the sun, no shade on the whole lot. I mixed cement and placed blocks where Jose needed them, I was soaked with sweat down to my socks! Luckily Paula called with lunch and we went back to our house in the colonia and ate and rested in the shade. We have 3 houses being built at the same time and I am running around like crazy making sure everything is going well and thank God he has given us some great brothers to help us. Eliazar put new brake lines on my truck and that saved me a lot of money.The water truck came today and everyone was glad to get fresh water. the kids got to swim in thier little wash tubs to cool off now that the barrels are full. Paula sent an E-mail out to a lot of you to invite you to Moraine on the 30th of Sept at 7:00 pm so if you didn't get the E-mail, consider this your invite and come and join us. We are looking forward to coming and seeing ya'll. We need a count so E-mail us if your coming.God Bless and ADIOS
