FINISHING TOUCHES, FOOD OUTREACH AND A BABY BORN IN THE COLONIA

Yesterday we finished the house for Luciano and Eva and today we dedicated it with about twenty people present. The food outreach last Saturday was pretty special because we hadn't gotten enough donations to cover the cost of all the food, so Carmelo and Ruth spent about two hundred dollars to supply every family with sugar. The poor giving to the poor. Only Jesus could move a heart like that to give of what little money they had to help their neighbors. They are such a blessing to us and the people in the colonia. Our friend Raul spent his money on the 12 cases of cooking oil needed to supply all those that came. God is soo good to continue meeting the needs of the people here, it continually blows me away. Martha lives down the road a little ways and had a baby Sunday night, right there in the colonia and both are fine. We brought their battery home on Sat to charge it for them and when we brought it back, she had a baby boy to show us. Tradgedy hit our neighbor in the colonia last week. Their 21 year old son was in a serious car crash and lost half of one foot and his other leg is messed up bad. The hospital bills are huge, so a group of us gathered around them and prayed for a miracle for their son and a financial miracle for them. We gave them the money we had from Saturdays garage sale to help them, but it is only a fraction of what they need, so Pray for Eliazers healing por favor. Dan Castro arrived here yesterday from chgo and will spend the next week or so helping us out. The DAY OF THE CHILD is Sat and we have hundreds of packpacks filled with gifts for the kids, given to us by our friends at Mexico Missions. org and we'll get a couple of piniatas and grill a bunch of hot dogs for the kids special day. One more house to build and then my knee needs a break, it really hurts. We are looking forward to a month off in June to attend a few very special weddings in Chicago and visiting some good friends while there. ADIOS
