Ricky and his wife Theresa came last Tuesday joined by Don, Natalie and Paul from OK. Bob, Betty and Mark arrived Thursday with 190 more backpacks. Wow you talk about an abundance!!! With everything across the border, we started the scheduled events to bless the kids on Friday at Macarios church in Reynosa. Several hundred backpacks were given to the kids that came after a joyous celebration of the kids. Clowns, cake and tamales. The team then headed to Melodys Orphanage for more fun and gifts for the children there.
Saturday was our monthly food outreach and gift boxes for the kids, I bought 100 🌂 for the women for mothers day that is next week. What a joy to have everyone back to celebrate Jesus and the kids. Pastor Jaime Mayorga led the kids in songs and Pastor Juan Cantu made us lunch. We then loaded up two trucks and the van and headed around the corner to Colonia 23 of March where hundreds more kids waited for our arrival. WHAT A DAY!!
Ricky and the team took a few days off to enjoy the local flea market, go to Progresso, and hang out with us. New friendships and partnerships have been formed this week. We like to call them Divine Appointments!!. We still have several hundred gift boxes and backpacks to give out, and we're planning to take them to the interior of Mexico 🇲🇽.
I'm in Colorado now after stopping in Oklahoma to have my new implant teeth 😬 installed. It only took 40 minutes and I was on my way 500 more miles to Denver to pick up Paula, our daughter Kristin and our granddaughter Lea all arriving at the airport today to join other daughter Kelly that lives here. A mother's day trip and my birthday the day after.
Thanks to the team that came, thanks for the opportunity to serve together, thanks for safe travels, thanks for Doctor Brooks, and Dr Clark and the staff at Immediate Smiles for blessing me with the teeth 😀. Thanks for the support of the ministry, thanks for blessings bestowed upon us. GIVE THANKS MY FRIENDS
