BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING?

Really? Or are we blessed to buy a vacation home? Or take an exotic vacation? Or buy something we don't really need or even want. It is a real challange to my heart to spend so much time away from Mexico and our calling to help the poor, and be a blessing to those in need. But we are finding ways to meet the needs of some people around here inbetween traveling around and visiting partners of the ministry. I wish I would have brought a skid of beans and rice up here, but we will buy some next week when we get back from MI. We leave for Michigan today and return on Monday. We can't wait to see the team that surrendered their vacation this past spring to help those in need in Mexico. Dave, Lonnie, Gary, Jeryl and Michelle get it. We had a great time on Sunday when we had our pizza luncheon at church and had about a hundred people attend, and hear about the trade school and all the other things we have going on. Sporatic generous giving to the ministry took place and we are well on the way to funding the tools for the school, so Gracias to Moraine for the use of the church, and to all those that gave and to those that will give. And a huge thanks to those that brought the desserts. The time continues to fly by and we are trying to keep up with the schedual of seeing everyone.
