What happened??

This is a picture of the pool that I was baptized in last summer.  Lee’s theory is that God washed all my sin away and that is why the pool is so dirty.  Ha… ha…Lee….

It was sort of a joke all week (well, at least for Lee it was funny). 

In all reality, we were told that they stopped messing with this pool in an effort to cut costs.  B2B has had 1/3 of their teams cancel this year.  Please pray for their ministry.  Jesus own the cattle on a thousand hills and we know He will provide.  Please pray for Mexico.

Psalm 50:10 “for every animal of the forest is mine and every cattle on a thousand hills.”

Planetario Alfa

Today we took the kids from Casa Hogar Betesda to Planetario Alfa (a HUGE science center).  It was a wild time!  The teens that are here with us brought kids from another children’s home.  There were 5 buses of children!  The science center is 5 stories high and it has an Imax theater.  There is also a planetarium and an outdoor play area.  Everyone wore the same t-shirts.  So, if you can imagine about 100 children and about 100 adults running around this place.  Insanity…. but the kids were having a blast!

On the ride back, our bus broke down on the side of the freeway.  Thankfully, we had plenty of water and Tete had a tortilla in her fanny pack.

“Unbelievable….” says Tete.

Te Doy Gloria, A Ti Jesus!!

40 years ago a small chapel was built on the hill by Casa Hogar Douglas .  Over the years it fell into disrepair and the people began to pray that God would restore it.  A couple at B2B started to pray for it, too.  Praise God that He provided the funds to renovate the chapel.  Tonight we went to the dedication ceremony.  We sang praise songs and held hands to pray for the church.  Scripture was read and the children from the Casa Hogar danced.  We truly felt the presence of God there.  The children in the Casa Hogar would not have an opportunity to go to church without this chapel near their property.  I kept thinking about what a special place this will be for them.  A shelter on the hill where they will learn about and worship their Heavenly Papa.

Con una corona de espinas, te hiciste rey por siempre.

With a crown of thorns, you became King, forever and ever….

Casa Hogar Douglas

Today we spent the day at Casa Hogar Douglas. We played with the kids, put up a chain link fence, and the men dug 3 deep holes for beams. They are eventually going to make a covered area using the beams.

Here are a few pictures of our day. go monterrey 09 498

Psalm 9:9-10

“The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble, and those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Lord have not forsaken those who seek you.”
