MORE YESES GETS GOD TO BLESS US

It only took a few people to say YES to get the addition built on our Ministry House in the colonia. When Alan and Lynnea said YES, we were well under way to get the whole addition built while they were here. As Paula finished up painting the inside today, Carmelo and I were taking the cement blocks for the foundation to Victor and Elizabeth's lot, where we will build the house provided by a family that said YES and a matching fund from our church. We also took several different sizes of diapers to some needy families, including Elizabeth's twin boys. A solar system was paid for by some people at church that said YES to Jesus to get involved with our efforts helping the poor, so I purchased and delivered the kit to a very grateful man named Pablo, who volunteered to help us build the house next week for Victor and Elizabeth. We also told the local tea totalers, or Barrachos ( drunks) that we would be helping Cecilio and buy the materials to finish the block house that he had been building for quite some time. They are all friends and will help build it. It was a real joy to bless these "outcasts" with building materials and a solar power system. They couldn't believe that God would bless them so abundantly, but isn't that just like Jesus to want to express his love for these guys and provide for them. We ended the day giving out several bags of corn and large cans of fruit and a few water barrels on the way out of the colonia.
