CALEB TURNS ONE

When we first came to the colonia last Jan. Ruth was just about ready to give birth to Caleb. We built them a house in April and bought the lot next door to them and built a house there last month. Ruth, Carmello, Mimi and Caleb are a very special part of our lives here and a birthday party was something we wouldn't miss for anything. We all had a great time with great friends and great food. Paula bought Caleb a swing and he loves it. Spong Bob was beaten to a pulp by the kids to get at all the candy inside the doomed cartoon icon. Ruth, Lucy and Paula prepared the food outreach bags and have the clothes ready for Saturdays clothes give away. We have raised over $500.00 in donations to build a building for Sunday school classes and outreach ministry next to Victors church. On Monday we took Julie, who is an intern with Sons of Salvation to visit the orphanage she will be staying at for three months as part of her intern program. The name of the orphanage is Casa Hogar Benito Juarez. We are going to be housing several teams there in the next few months. They are building a new dormitory for the teams and it looks like a great facility, and only gets worked on when groups come and donate thier time. Our other intern Mitchell, leaves for the Czech Republic for his three month stint. We leave for Paulas Moms on Friday, so I get to watch the Super Bowl in Spanish for the third year in a row in Tejulpilco, Mx where her Mom lives. We are looking forward to the visit, so please pray for us as we travel. We are taking the van and dropping Raul off at his home town on the way , he needs a copy of his birth certificate to get his Texas drivers license. ADIOS
