HOMEGOING AND HOMECOMING

As Paula went back down to celebrate her moms homegoing, the Carpenters Crew was busy building the kingdom to fill the void here on earth. Pedro and Marcos both gave their hearts to Jesus after weeks of building a relationship with him and his family. As we all stood around at the dedication service, Pedro announced with a tear in his eye, that he wanted and needed Jesus in his life. While a few of us were gathered around him, Marcos came up and wanted to surrender his life to Christ as well. So on the same day Paulas family said goodbye to her Mom, God added two more members to his family. It was a great week as the Crew passed out food and toys to every man women and child we came across on our drive through the colonia. Paula came home Saturday night and the second wave of Carpenters Crew servant Evangelists arrived and we started building the third house that generous hearts donated the money for. Early morning rain in Mexico made a mess of the road and we got stuck in the mud several times as we made our way in. Paula arrived a few moments later and we had to rescue her and the truck from the deep wet mud. This will be the last time that happens, as the Carpenters Crew first team gave us enough money to buy enough caliche to fix the road, once and for all. Generous people do generous things. The photos that we will post will tell it all and now that Paula is home, we can do that, only not until tonight, I left the camera in Mexico. Two orphanages have come for beans and rice in the last few days and another Pastor took all of our wheel chairs and porta poties along with some beans rice, bibles and baseball equipment. The Crew has also fixed a lot of things around here and I'm so grateful for their service to us and the Kingdom. Rice and bean prices are through the roof and what used to take 12 thousand dollars to buy a truck load, will now take 17 thousand...OUCH!!!
