Unity is probably the one characteristic that can make Jesus smile. When His children work together with the same mindset of helping people, any people, whether at home or on a missions trip. This week has been just that. The last few days we, meaning the people that live in mexico, and a team of servants from the Chicago area came together with one purpose, to build a family a new home. Wednesday four men from the colonia helped me get a start on the house that the team was coming to build. I know I shouldn't start building before the team get here, but there is always the stress of getting it all done, so building the four walls before hand takes the stress out of the picture. Yesterday, Lee, Joe, Mark, Hans, Carmelo, Rickey and I got a lot of work done that will enable us to finish today and dedicate it Saturday after our monthly food distribution.
While the women spent the day visiting people and helping Paula with the sewing class, we braved the 90 degree temps and got the roof on the windows in and the door hung. Today the girls will come and help put the finishing touches on the house and get ready for dedication day when Jose Louis and his daughter Miranda open the door on their new home. An early departure yesterday made for a short line at the bridge, which is always a blessing. On that note I finally am in the final stages of getting my Sentri Lane pass which will virtually eliminate waiting in line on the bridge anymore. WHAT WILL I COMPLAIN ABOUT WITHOUT THE LINES AT THE BRIDGE?????
