It is such a joyous time and yet so stressful. I wonder what God thinks about all the stress people put themselves under because of the birth of our Saviour? Why don't we all just worship God and not people? With several groups coming over the next two months, I always find myself stressing about having everything ready for them. Foundations, wood, windows, doors, siding,it has to be ready and on site when they arrive. I always say that next year we are going to be with Family for Christmas, and yet we never do it. 18 years in a row away from our kids and families on Christmas and New Years doing ministry in Mexico.
The colonia is even looking quite festive and the kids have had their school programs and are enjoying their vacation from school. Paula and Ruthy have wrapped hundreds of gifts for the kids, and we have tried to get everything ready for the 23rd and the 27th, two days of gift giving and food outreaches, can't wait!!!
Lupita, Jose and their 6 kids are so excited about getting a house in a few weeks. The Junkin 4 Jesus group as I call them is coming on the 4th of Jan to build two houses and some deep relationships. The group has outgrown our bunk house, so they are staying at New Life just down the road a bit.
So if anyone coming the week of the fourth of Jan reads this, your Families names are as follows;
House # 1-- Dad Jose, Mom Lupita, Almendra Ruby (15), Diego (13), Challan Gudalupe' (12), Ana Tavita (10)
Maria Jose' (8), Danna Michelle (6). They are pictured on this post without Dad.
House #2 Mom- Navia Dominguez, Lucia (18) Lois Carlos (16), Rodrigo (15), Navia (13). No Photo yet.
