Although, from the outside, the Reyes family home seems to be better than most of the makeshift houses of the other families we have built new homes for, it's a whole different picture when the rain comes pouring in. It reminds me off a lot of Christians, We all look great on the outside, but when the storms of life come, and the winds blow, it reveals what we are made of. Can we muster the faith and say "peace be still"?or does it ravage our life and we never recover? Isidro and Lizet have six children, Sonia(9) Raul(8) Manuel(7) and a few years later Julesa(4) and the twins Javier and Franko(3) were born . Isidro has a few goats and keeps them in the back of their lot, and He makes a living off of the offspring, selling them. Carmelo, Pedro, Marcos and Catarino formed the foundation and Isidro dug for hours in the back of his lot, collecting enough dirt to fill the foundation walls so we could pour the concrete today. The Ruiz, Simeon and Trophy families are all leaving the Chicago area on Friday to come and spend the better part of a week here and build the house and the Kingdom. Last week we hired a company with a scraper to level the road a bit before we order 20 truck loads of caliche and fix it once and for all. Roy and Rebecca Busby had Josies Quincinera 15th birthday party in the colonia yesterday and it was a blast. We laughed and had a great time playing musical chairs. The worship team from one of the colonia churches entertained us all. We honored Josie and commit her future to the Lord.
