IT'S ALL ABOUT MEETING THE NEEDS OF OTHERS

   We spent the last week or so getting everything ready for the groups coming in January. This group is excited as always to come and bless those in the colonia. They have chosen to stay at Big Heart Orphanage in Reynosa for the week starting Jan 1st. We look forward to thier arrival. The guys are busy building the foundation. We built the family a temporary house so they could take down the old one, to make room for the new one.
   We delivered Wood to two other families in case this team feels frisky, and wantshe to build another house.
    We're going to Chicago tomorrow and spending a week there, loving on Lea. It's been too long since we have seen her, and the rest of the family.
    We attended church at Melody Orphanage Sunday and enjoyed a meal with the congregation afterwards.  We sang a few Christmas songs after dinner. The orphanage is almost done. Praise The Lord. Please be praying for all the paperwork to get done with the Government.
    Paula had her Christmas gifts for her sewing class all wrapped and around the tree in the Community Center. The girls all got a coffee maker from Paula and they were all grateful. They worked hard the last several days to fill an order for quilts for some friends in Chicago. We're taking an extra suitcase filled with quilts.
    Sunday the temperature dropped into the 30s, so we went to Progresso and purchased 100 thick wool blankets and gave many of the outside on Monday. Our Sunday school class came and bagged up hundreds of bags of beans and rice, what a blessing. Gracias!
    Gotta go pack, we leave in the morning, and we'll be hugging Lea in the afternoon.
   If I don't have a chance to post again, you all have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. Thanks for all the prayers and support, you are vital to the ministry to the poor, and orphans.
