The last few days we have built an addition on a house we built several years ago, to accommodate a very large family. 4 adults and 11 children all living in one 12 X 24 foot house. After we finished the addition yesterday, another family asked if we could build them a porch. They had already purchased the materials and all we had to do was build it for them. So after working most of the day finishing the addition, we were able to build the porch as well. Roger, Chris and James were a real blessing to everyone they came in contact with this week.
We are getting ready to head across the border one last time with them before they leave tomorrow morning, just in time to ring in the New Year with family and friends. We still have some gifts to give out, and with all the churches coming through the colonia the last few days, we would like to go somewhere else and bless some kids that don't see many missionaries. Our plans are still uncertain, we may spend New Years Eve in Mexico and celebrate with Carmelo and Ruth.
If anyone out there intends to donate to our mission before the end of the year, envelopes must be postmarked tomorrow to get a deduction this year.. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS. EVERY YEAR GOD TRUSTS US WITH MORE THAN THE YEAR BEFORE, BECAUSE WE DON'T HOLD ONTO IT, WE GET IT INTO THE KINGDOM ASAP!!!
