GOD SAYS " I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU "

    We thought we had a great plan for the Junkin 4 Jesus team from Western Illinois that has  been here all week. WE planned to build two houses on the East end of the colonia. WE planned on having two families receiving houses today. BUT GOD in His wisdom and Divine Providence, allowed it to rain all last week and we couldn't get any where near the tow sites until yesterday. So WE had to trust God to work it all out. After all, these people came 1400 miles to build two houses. I called my lumber supplier Monday morning on the way to Mexico and gave her another order for wood for a house scheduled to be built in three weeks. Javier, Perla and their daughter Kaylee were going to be blessed ahead of schedule. Why? we don't know. All I know is that God always has a plan and we just need to get out of the way.
   So for two and a half days of hard work and harder play, we finished the house for Javier and Perla and part of the crew built our addition on the Community Center to store all the building materials that we end up moving around every time we have an event. So praise the Lord for proving the much needed addition. We celebrated yesterday with the family making a meal for everyone and I mean everyone! At least 50 kids came while the chicken was cooking and God multiplied the chicken to feed everyone. After we dedicated the house , Pastor Antonio invited us to the Kings Day Service at his church and we were blessed by them with cake and hot chocolate and we blessed the women with purses hand made by the people at Stronghurst Christian Church filled with goodies and the kids got dolls and balls as well. Nathan and I led the team in a few worship songs. We were able to pass by the two sites we were suppose to build on because the road dried up enough to get through. Many of the same people that were here this week are coming back again next month with more people, I love how Gods plans always work out better than ours, don't you? There is now way we could have built those two homes in two and a half days.
    SO ONCE AGAIN, THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH OVERSHADOWS US AS WE SEEK TO DO HIS WILL IN THIS LIFE WHILE ON MISSION FOR HIM.

  AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE END OF THE YEAR GIFTS THAT WE RECEIVED, WE CAN'T EXPRESS HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE FOR YOUR GENEROSITY TOWARDS US AND GODS MISSION.
