FINALLY A DAY BELOW 100 DEGREES

Yesterday it only got up to 98 degrees and ended our streak of 100 degree plus days at 58, I think. After attending church on the US side, we went to the colonia to attend the service at Victors church at 3:00. Jose' and Paulina use to live in the colonia and we use to stop by thier house and give them food and yesterday they wanted us there as they dedicated thier three boys to the Lord. It was raining so hard, you could barely hear Victor, even with a microphone. After the service we went to Jose and Paulinas new house and had chicken and mole', mmmm. They made it out of the colonia and into a real house, with electricity and plumbing and even a small window A/C unit. Sure it only had 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and is 10 feet wide and 36 feet long but they made it out of the hard life in the colonia. We gave out food to 175 families again on saturday and juice and suckers to all the kids, what a joy our life here is! We also visited the family we built our very first house for 13 years ago, Ramon and Esparanza. They followed up our visit to thier house with a visit to our house in the colonia the next day and we enjoyed a few hours of catching up. Thier daughter Ruthy came and is now 14 years old and in high school. We recieved a generous gift this week and can build another home in the colonia next week. A few other very generous gifts were entrusted to us as well, and will provide food for the colonia, as well as a few cement floors for a few families. This walking by faith thing since moving here has become the rule in our life, rather than the exception and Gods Word is living and active!!! He said if we would go, he would provide. How about you? Is God asking you to get out of your boat and trust Him for something?
