LO SIENTO, NO PHOTOS

We are having problems loading pictures on the blog, so if you only visit the site for the pictures, we're sorry. The past week has been a week of huge blessings. Our friends Rick and Diane Balmer from LaHarpe Illinois have been here planning their missions trip projects for their ministry Carpenters Crew coming down after the first of the new year. A new place to house the team closer to the work sites has been chosen, a church will be built in Brownsville by them as they minister on this side of the border for one week and then the next team will work with us in Mexico, doing various projects here and in Progresso. Friday we had a wonderful time with many new friends from church and the Cross Seekers class that invited us for turkey dinner and gave us the opportunity to share about what God has us doing in Mexico. Darrin and Christina hosted the evening and have really been a blessing to get to know as we have partnered together building a house in the colonia. Sunday after church we went to Mexico to celebrate Pastor Victors 5 year anniversary in the colonia and also to dedicate the new children's classes we finished up last month, after a family in Indiana donated the funds last year to make it all possible. Loud music, food, sharing and prayer kept us there until late in the evening, but what a joy to celebrate with so many friends. Yesterday we visited a ministry in San Juan, just a few miles from our house, with a wonderful facility to house teams, store and distribute food from and land to accommodateall aspects of ministry. This is the kind of place Paula and I feel we could really make great use of and lo and behold, the couple that own the place are selling it and moving back to Oklahoma. We both want to allow God to do what He does best, and that is to put Himself on display and provide for His plan in our lives. Selling our house and buying this one would be close to a wash, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Pray for wisdom for us from on high! With 20,000 lbs of beans being donated to us and the opportunity to handle much larger amounts of food and things to give away, the place is perfect and even comes with a fork truck and warehouse along with rooms to sleep 15 people and a separate kitchen all in perfect condition.Divine timing?
