Open House and Mexico Coming!

Our Open House was tons of fun. Thanks families and friends who attended! We raised $281 for our mission trips! yea!

Our Mexico trip is coming soon...May 1-4 to El Florido, Mexico. This will be our seventh year to Mexico. Each year is different and it is so exciting to build homes for people. We build small 12x16 houses with common hand tools. Oh yes, it would be much quicker to use power tools, but much of the trip is to build relationships with the families and neighbors. By using hand tools, the works goes slower and we have more time to visit and establish friendships. Please begin praying for the families that we will be meeting. Pray that God will break through the language barrier and that we will be able to share HIS love and gospel with the people there!

I have my first Brazil trip today. yea! I am going to start reviewing my Portuguese. I have a language software tool I use...but so far all I've learned are words that I won't probably use like blue rabbit and mattress! ha! ha!
