DEDICATION DAY CELEBRATION IN SPITE OF!!

  The two houses built last week had to have an official dedication,  so Monday  we arrived in the colonia around noon for a 2 o'clock scheduled dedication . After another incident,  we decided to go and bless these two families with the beds and furnishings we purchased. Jose and Alicias house was first because all the food was at Roberto and Edinina.
  Jose and his family used the rest of the purple paint to trim out the inside of the house. It looked awesome, and they covered their floor with a thick plastic, to cover the flaking concrete. Shawn and Carla came as well as Jaime and his family. They were all brought to tears as we prayed over them and Jose lifted Alicia and carried her home. The two kids loved their own space up in the loft.
  We then moved up the hill to the other house, where they had prepared a literal feast. Steak, chicken, sausage, tortillas , salsa, and beverages. The question was, eat first, or dedicate the house. We prayed over Roberto and Edinina. He has dialysis therapy 3 days a week, and Edinina had knee surgery 2 months ago. What a great time, seeing the joy on all of thier faces.
  Tuesday brought heavy rain for the first time in a while. Paula was in Mexico and I took Shawn and Carla Estes to the airport to go to a conference in Louisville , with David Platt speaking. I'm so jealous. His book Radical, changed our lives.
  Yesterday Sergio and I picked up 10 pallets if soon to expire Fema food boxes. Each box has quite a bit of food, and we have already given a lot away in 2 days.
  We have a contractor coming tomorrow to clean and coat our entire roof. It's been on our things to save $ for, and although I hate to spend money on "ourselves", it is much needed.
  Please pray for peace in Mexico. It is really messing up missions and a few groups have cancelled their trips with others desiring to work on the US side th

is summer. We need to line up some projects in Texas. Thanks for the prayers and support.
