Gary and I (Jeryl) spent 2 weeks helping Bruce and Paula in Mexico. The first week we were blessed to be able to help a group called the Carpenter Crew build a house in Nopalera. The week before we came they built a few other houses and brought, that I know of, 2 men to the Lord. They were dedicating one house and the man Pedro, that they were building it for said that he felt led to accept Jesus into his heart. When they were done praying with him, his son Marcos also felt a strong urge to accept Jesus and did. What an awesome experience that must have been for that group. I would have loved to have been there to witness it. When we finished the house we helped them with they were all heading back home. We were blessed to work and fellowship with this group and God willing we will do it again next year. Anyone who hasn't experienced this awesome calling should really try it. I know my husband and I go home just as blessed from the experience as the people we help. The second week Lani and Dave joined us and we built a second house for a family of 3 Thomas, Blanca & Alan that were living in a 7 x 7 hut that only had room for a small pad to sleep on (which was on the ground). We were joined by a wonderful couple from Missouri, John & Ruth and some new wonderful friends from Canada, Isaac & Carol, Tim and Jim. We started the house on Saturday (3-3-12) and dedicated it on Wednesday (3-7-12). Thomas had a emotional experience and prayed with Bruce. All in all it was a wonderful dedication. Can't wait to come again next year, it's gonna seem like a long wait, but raising funds will keep us busy till then. God Bless us all!!!!
