Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: WEEEEERRRRR BACK!!!!!!

We sure have a hard time saying good bye to Paulas' family when it's time to go, but we had a nice time there, as always and look forward to going back when time permits. We traveled on new routes going and coming and saw some absolutley beautiful mountains and towns, but the winding and desolate roads left me tired from turning the steering wheel constantly for about 5 hours going thru the mountains in San Louis Potosi after dropping Raul off at his Brothers there and trying to get to a town with a hotel before sundown. Well that didn't happen and by the time we stopped I had been driving for 18 hours and we wern't there yet. It usually takes 14 or 15 hours and we still had three to go to get to Moms. Oh well, we traveled on roads we probably won't ever travel on again so it was, as I kept telling Paula as she held onto her seat belt as we twisted and turned, a new adventure in the lives of Bruce and Paula. I don't think the van had ever been so dirty, even from the roads in the colonia. We found four guys at a hand car wash and we gave them all the lunch meat and bread we had as well as sharing the gospel with them before we left. The wash was only $2.50 but I gave them $1o.00 and it was well worth the 10. We visited the Monarch butterflies again and are awe struck everytime we see them. The family doesn't understand our missionary call in life but most people don't. The town they live in needs Christ and we just pray, that one day we will see some fruit from our sharing with them.We are right back being busy with the walls of a cement block house ready for the roof to be done, so monday we'll start that as well as starting a house for a very needy couple Miguel and Blanca. A group from Il. is staying at Texas Rose and wanted to build a house, so a house they will build, starting tommorrow as well. Thanks for praying for us as we traveled, it's good to be back home and we were glad to go to church today and then share lunch with our ABF class members. We enjoyed a birthday party at the colonia on Sat for 6 year old Zaida. ADIOS

HIS STORY IN OUR LIVES

We moved to the TX/MX border in the Fall of '07 from Chicago, IL. We had been coming to Reynosa on short-term missions trips for over 10 years. Each time we left a little bit more of our hearts behind. Thru the circumstances of life Paula and I both agreed that now is the time to do that which gave us meaning and purpose in life. So we sold our home and came to the Rio Grand Valley at the southern most point of Texas. We have since joined with Mexico Missions Inc. to assist them with their childrens backpack programs in Mexico. Our mission is to reach the poorest of the poor in Mexico. We build homes, offer food and clothing to those in need, but most importantly we share the love and hope that is found in our Lord Jesus Christ. Living radical lives has expanded our vision and ministry from feeding hundreds of families to thousands.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP US REACH OUT TO THOSE IN NEED

Our ministry is totally supported by people like you.Since we did not raise our needed support before entering the mission field we continue to walk by faith that God will speak to the hearts of those of you reading our blog and joining us on short term trips to Mexico to help us help our brothers and sisters in Reynosa. If you would like to contribute to us personally, sponsor a child to attend school, give to the building of a home for a needy family, or even have us facilitate a food outreach, contact us via E-mail or send checks made out to MEXICO MISSIONS INC. and mail to our new address, P.O. Box 68 San Juan, Tx. 78589. If you would like to support us personally, put B&P in the memo column. If you would like to sponsor a specific outreach, list that as well in the memo column. All gifts are tax deductable. Child school sponsorship $400.00 per year per child, a newly designed home can be built with some help from the people in Mx. for a gift of $3800.00 or any portion thereof until enough money is raised to build one. Many houses could just use new roofing and some other fixes to make them more habitable. God Bless You as you give.
