GIVING IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON AND FOR LIVING

Yesterday was a perfect example of how much better it is to give than to receive! The smiles that lit up the faces of the hundreds of people blessed with food, toys, and even a few new bicycles made the trip worth while for Hector, Stephanie, their daughter Samantha and Gracie. They drove from Houston with a trailer load of toys, clothes, food and 8 new bicycles to give to the people in the colonia in Reynosa. We couldn't take it all across yesterday, but what we took gave us hours of fun as they handed out everything to kids that probably won't have much of a Christmas. Thanks guys for being living sacrifices of your time, money and talents. As you can see in the other photos, Mikee, Ryan and Dolly offered up their lives all of last week to build the house that they designed. It is probably the coolest house in the colonia and I mean that literally, because the front and back walls open up to cool things off in the hot summer months. We worked hard all week and the reward was on the faces of the family when we dedicated the house Friday. Maria fed us the best chile rellanos I've ever had. We miss everyone already, it sure is quiet around here. The prayers of the saints availeth much and we sure do appreciate all the prayers and support given to us. Two houses in two weeks, plus all the things we are preparing to make the rest of this year, the best of this year for the people in the colonia. I was given over a hundred jackets to give out this week, along with clothes, bikes, toys, and all the beautiful gifts for the women in the colonia. It's going to be a busy week to get everything to Mexico.
