MOTHERS DAY AND MY BIRTHDAY

Tomorrow is Mothers Day in Mexico and I know Paula would like to be with her Mom, but that trip will have to wait until maybe next month. We will however spend some time in the colonia with some other Moms. Saturday Paula had a time of handing out Mothers Day gift bags to many women as they came to get some clothes that we were giving out as well. It just so happens to be my birthday, so Paula is making chicken and mole', one of my favorites. As Damian and Natalie continue painting all the wood for their house that we will build next week after we return from our daughters graduation in Denver, they are excited about the gift they are about to receive. We will be truly blessed to have our Daughter Kelly, our Son In Law Ryan and His parents Jim and Jan help us build this one. One family blessing another family with a house, it just doesn't get any better than that. I've got a good head start on the house by cutting most of the wood for the walls and assembling the rafters. They will only be here for a few days so a head start will make it possible to finish and decorate it. While we are building that house, The Mexico Project team from IIT in Chicago will be building a house for another family just down the road. We pour that foundation in the morning and the wood should arrive and be all painted while we are in Denver. Kristin is coming to Denver for Kelly's Graduation, so it will be a great few days. Please pray for Kristin and Kelly and their Grandmother as they deal with her recovery from a stroke and the need for rehab followed by placement in a nursing home. Kristin has lovingly cared for her Grandma for several years and the stroke has moved the need for long term care to a reality. They need to get that settled before they leave for Denver.
