Benito Juarez Orphanage

After the funeral and luncheon we took the team to an orphanage to share a message at their church service and give out backpacks with school supplies. The group of 14 interacted with the kids, did face painting,balloons and then we fed them hot dogs and sloppy joes. Monday we started building the house for Trinidad and Amelia. We were going strong after a late start when it started to rain. The lot is next to the international bridge, so we were able to seek refuge under it until it stopped. We had three rain delays but still managed to get three walls up so it was a good first day and we should finish easily on wed.

I talked to Cornie Rempel,Winkler,Manitoba this morning. I gathered that he had touched base with you this past winter while they were in Texas. We also spent 3 1/2 months at Edinburg,TX. The ministry you are involved with sounds so much like the one (Harvest Field Ministries) that we were involved with for 10 years, building homes and providing food, clothing and health support. If you want I can put you in touch with Phil and Karen Klassen who head up Harvest Field. I committed to Cornie that I would volunteer to take a load of beans to south Texas if he could get me a truck. So, the Lord knows if that's going to work out. We may get to meet you. In God's will... John and Marge Zacharias
