...share your food with the hungry and provide the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked clothe him... Isaiah 58:7
SPRING BREAK or SPRING BLESSING
I say both. The group from Zion Lutheran Church in Hancock, Michigan gave us a break by sending a group of college age and above men and women with the skills and the passsion to build a home for Jorge' , Flor and thier kids. The blessings of God flowed into the families life as this sweet group of people gave up a temporal spring break for an eternal one. We helped when we needed to, and Paula, Carmelo and Beto painted a lot with the crews help, but they did an awsome job building the house. I stressed the importance of taking time to get to know the family and enjoy the children that love to be loved on and played with, and I believe they all connected with everyone. We met Dave and Lonnie a few years ago and they handle the missions work in Mx. for thier church and asked if they could come and build a house with us. We don't have to house them or feed them or drive them around, so it frees us up to enjoy the whole experience with the team. Mark did a great job of leading the team and spoke on dedication day to our hearts. They also built a new outhouse for the family with enough head room for taller people. We miss them already and we know they will be back, maybe as soon as this summer as soon as school gets out. I'll post all thier names as soon as Paula gives them to me, because these are people you'll want to get to know. ADIOS AMIGOS
