SUPER SUNDAY

Sunday brought two huge blessings, first Bill and Karen Mills from Chicago were in town for a one day conference and we were able to share a meal with them and then visit a church plant where he was speaking. We were encouraged by Bills message about the fact that God uses ordinary people like us to accomplish his plans on earth. Ministry has to rest on the sufficiency of Christ rather than our own ability. Whew! that takes all the pressure off. It really is Christ, living in us to will and do of HIS good pleasure, not Bruce and Paula trying to be missionaries because we fail far to often to believe anything less. After saying good-bye to Bill and Karen we drove up to San Antonio to recieve another blessing from Phil and Marilyn Chain who we met a few years ago. They have been ministering to the poor in Cancun Mx for many years Mexico Missions.org is thier web address so drop them a line. Anyhow, the annual packpack drive they hold has overflowed into our lives again as the generosity of many that filled the packpacks will bless many children in Reynosa as well as Cancun. They are just another Divine Appointment of Gods in our life since getting out of the boat. We spent the night in S.A. at our good friends Juvenal and Benitas' house and while Paula and Benita spent some time together, I took thier son golfing. Yesterday, we wanted to get some more work done on the house Raul and I started last Friday and we built one wall and the heavens opened up and it poured for an hour we scurried after the rain and built the second wall and it poured again even harder. You really don't realize how bad people in the colonia that don't have a new house have it until your there in a storm. Water leaking everywhere, Paula and Martina sought refuge in thier bedroom and right there in the middle of thier bed was 5 gallon bucket catching water from the roof leak. And the mud, gad zooks, you can't even walk around it is so slippery. It's supposed to rain all week, so we don't know when we can get this house built. GOD KNOWS
