I’m sitting here looking over the orphanage, the sky lit by only the moon and a few dimly lit porch lights. The stars are covering the sky. Spanish worship music is filling my ears. What a great end to a fabulous day! This week we have a team of about 5 hundred people from a school in California. They are absolutely amazing. This morning, I headed out with some kids from the orphanage, and we headed over to “the ranch”! The kids were there, helped out with some sort of building of the new orphanage that is getting built near Tecate. I was working with the guy that runs the house building for City Of Angels today. We went out to all of the 19 worksites to deliver supplies, and to make sure that everything was going well. We then took a late lunch in Tecate! I had thee most AH-mazing tacos today. If I had my pictures with me it would be even better, but I don’t have time tonight. It was so awesome to see all the teams working together, and to get to see all the fruit of their labor.
The thing I like about long term missions is that I get to see the fruit of everyone that plants the seeds. I was so content today in working in the field with fellow laborers! I know that God has called me into full time missions. The Lord is good. I was reading in John in my devotions the other day, and John says that Grace and Truth were given through Christ. That is so great! He has given us grace so, that we may spread His Truth! If it weren’t for him, we would be out here for nothing! Thank you, LORD, for our hope in you alone! Again, thank you all for your prayers! They are treasured greatly! I am sorry that I have not kept in great contact! If you send me a quick message, I will try and respond, but time on the net is limited! I love your comments! Let me know if you are reading or if you have any questions! I’m up and at it again at 7AM this morning! Please pray for the team here right now! It is quite a feat to build 19 houses in four days without a hitch! Love you all!

Isaiah 41 has been good to me. I hope it encourages you too.
