Viva la Mexico!

What a great mission trip we had this spring. It was my ninth, I think, and probably the best. This year we only had twelve volunteers go and we were able to accomplish more than we ever had been able to in the past. We had four days and in that time we built 2 homes for homeless families, repaired a fire damaged home, handed out 200 pounds of beans and rice, blessed several families with food and the doctor treated well over a hundred patients.....

Steve made a set of crutches for a man that had been in bed for a week. He had two more weeks without any weight on his leg...

Our family...Bertha, Juan Antonio, little Juan Antonio and Linda.

We built this home for Jose and Roland bought him a bunch of chicks and chicken wire for a little chicken farm...

Peggy with a beautiful new baby...muy precioso!

Steve, putting the roof on. I hate it when he does that!

It Been a Long Long Time!

Since my last post I have been very busy. I love it when there is not a lot of down time. It keeps me out of trouble. The other day Steve and I could not come up with anything to do. No houses to work on, no movies to go see (we have seen almost all of them), the house was clean and I had been up to see my Mom already that day. So I started in on the hall closet. What a mess. I guess I can do the kitchen cabinets today and pack for our Mexico mission trip that we will be going on Saturday. Please pray for our team as we build a home for a family in Reynosa, Mexico (right down the street from the drug related 12 person shooting a few weeks ago) next week.

I want to to tell you about our last trip. My niece Miss Wanderlust and her new husband Adam got married in a tropical paradise. We left Ft. Lauderdale on the largest cruise ship on the ocean, the Independence of the Seas. We headed down to Cozumel and they had their ceremony at Mr Sancho's Beach Resort. It was a beautiful ceremony and the whole cruise was fabulous. We are so incredibly blessed to be able to do such a thing. Check it out!

We had an opportunity to spend some time with our great friends Nancy and Virg at their home in the Keys before the cruise. Check out the pics......
