IT'S WAY TO QUIET

After having people around since Christmas, It sure is quiet around here and we don't like it. You get used to having people here and we miss the fellowship. By now, Joe and Barb are in AZ as well as Rick and Diane. The next team is the Carpenters Crew "younger" team, due to arrive on the 17th to build two houses. Roy and Carla Day lead up the team and came here with the "more mature" group last month. We were out of rice when Roy started sending out E-mails and texts to people and since leaving here, He has raised enough money to purchase a half of a semi load of rice and I have a feeling, He is not done. Rick Caywood has already picked up the rice in Eagle Lake Texas and will wait until the team is here to deliver it. So one man, using the contacts He knows, raises enough money to buy rice and keep our warehouse inventory supplied. So what if everyone that reads this blog, set out to do the same thing? How many loads do you think we could buy? How many hungry families would be fed? How much are we willing to sacrifice for the benefit of others? How much money do we have stored up for a "rainy day"? Well I have to tell you, IT"s POURING ON THE LIVES OF THE POOR!! We have been watching the price of beans and rice go steadily up since last year, and we hear, that beans cost 2 dollars a pound in central MX. That's a 50% increase from last year. Imagine if your food bill went up 50% and you only made 50 dollars a week to provide for your family.
