Also, thanks to a new, dear friend, Kristy and the children were able to go to the San Diego Zoo with the interns and some of the other staff members.
We will be in Mexicali from Monday through Wednesday of this week building a home. Hundreds of families in Mexicali were left homeless after the earthquake this past spring. If you haven't heard, we will be testing out some new building materials. There is a company that makes styrofoam blocks used with cement and other materials to build homes. They have given us the blocks to build ten homes in Mexicali. This will be the first home that YUGO is building using these materials, so we are going to help build. This may be something that we will continue to be a part of. Please pray for us as we are going from days averaging about 70 degrees, to days averaging a little over 100 degrees. (We plan to build during the cooler parts of the days.)
Unfortunately, this means that we will miss the first half of "Mexico to Mexico" week here at the ranch. This is when local churches send their youth to come, form teams, and minister to other local churches the same way as the Americans and Canadians do when they come to ROC. When we return, Ron will be busy as he finishes getting everything ready for the build next week. The lumber will arrive on Saturday. Kristy will have to use Thursday and Friday to shoot pictures and video of the outreaches, and then get the slideshow ready for Saturday morning. So basically, it's going to be a very busy and exciting week!! And the following week - the team from FCC will be here and another home will be built!! Praise God!
