Men's Construction Team in Rio Bravo, Mexico

Work is going well... two casitas have walls & steps poured. Today (Thursday) is rafters and roofing... then stuco for the outside + windows. Juan (our job-site maistro) says we'll get it all done by noon tomorrow. The food is fine... the new place to stay is not so close to the work sites, but it is comfortable, private & quiet. Very nice all around.

We've apparently provided great entertainment for the neighborhood kids. I'm hoping we are able to establish more of a relationship with the family who will receive the casita we're building. God's hand is just SO apparent in all that is happening here. Poor in "things" has NO bearing on His love and blessings!

Thank you and everyone at home for all the prayers. Keep them coming.

Update from Earl on our Monterrey VIM Team - thanks for continuing with the prayers!

Just to let you know we all made it and are doing fine. The new Mission Bible School site in Solaridadad had 60 children the first night and over 100 last (Tuesday) night. We are expecting more tonight (Wednesday). The work project is remodeling the last dorm room upstairs. We are waiting for the window man to make 2 windows, but in the mean time we are building out the other walls. We probably won't get to finish the walls. No rain so far, it has been cloudy Monday and Tuesday, but today is bright and sunny. Thursday and Friday we will be at a new MBS site so we don´t know what to expect. Thanks for the prayers.
