GOOD? BAD?BLESSED!

Is it good that we had to come back to Illinois? Yes we love to see our family and friends.  Bad because the reason this time is for the Funeral and Memorial service for Paula's big brother Emilio " Emil ". The service is at Moraine Valley Church on Saturday the 6th at 1pm for visitation and 2pm for the service. We hope to see you there. You probably didn't know Emil, but we all know Paula. 
   The last few weeks in Mexico 🇲🇽 have been a time of huge blessings. Ricky Carroll rented a huge truck in Alabama and brought hundreds of backpacks filled with Christmas gifts and hundreds of shoe box gifts 🎁 for the kids as well. Bibles, new clothes, and much more stuff filled the truck with 12 pallets. We will spend the next few weeks crossing everything to the Community Center, before Ricky brings another load in December. 
   Melodys Orphanage has officially moved to the Angel's of God Orphanage out in the country. Jaime and Rosalba have been installed as the new directors and also serve on the Mexican Foundation Board along with their Son Macedonio and a few other locals. There was some spiritual warfare as the transition was unfolding and our Great God and Savior sent the Holy Spirit to intervene and do a marvelous work in the 💕 of those involved.  We look forward to seeing teams come and stay with us at the orphanage, to work, play and minister to the 25 kids there. There is a much larger budget requirement than Melodys Orphanage so we're asking God to raise up more financial partners to experience the joy of supporting such an awesome move of God.
   Many, if not all of you are aware of the problems with illegal aliens at our southern border. Although we don't Condone the illegal crosses, there are thousands of people who are staying in Mexico awaiting their turn at an asylum hearing. The needs are huge as they live in ⛺  tents with thier families. We purchased hundreds of toothbrushes, toothpaste, lots of diapers, 3 baby cribs, feminine products, coffee, creamer and delivered it last week. Very well mannered people and the kids we're excited to get get some toys from the Power Ministry leaders that visited a few weeks ago that I tagged along with and saw the hygiene needs.
  Thanks to all that pray for us and support us in our redefined ministry since we're not building houses for the time being.
