We've taken a lot of beans, rice and bibles across the border the last few weeks. We hadn't spent much time in the colonia, just unloaded and left while Paula was not feeling well.
New Life Family Church came and got 2000 lbs of beans and bagged them up for today's outreach. We have another load of beans coming from North Dakota next week. We have to pay the $4000.00 transportation bill, but the beans are free. 44 thousand pounds of beans is enough for 1/2 million meals. God is Good!
Melodys Orphanage is doing well, Jaime just returned from speaking at a Pastors conference in Tijuana. He took all the kids to shop for shoes for everyone. Can you imagine having to buy shoes for 16 kids at once? I asked him for the receipt for the shoes, and gave him the money back. Hector turned 12 the other day, and Little Monserott turns 11 this week.
We're still asking for prayers for a permanent solution for the orphanage as far as housing goes. It's all in God's hand, He knows the need.
We have a ministry interested in purchasing the ministry center in San Juan. Nothing for sure, but they have a need for a place like ours. We're not quitting ministry, just downsizing the work load and upkeep of our place.
Thanks for praying for us and the kids at Melodys. Lea stsrted 1st grade last week. My how time goes by.
