Mision Trip Pitures

Recap of September

Well another month is almost over. Can't believe in a little over 3 months 2011 will be over and here comes 2012!
This month started in victory! A group of 10 and 2 children travel to Durango (12 hours south) in the churches van. Our mission was to give children that went to school backpacks and a little sugar too(candy bags). We went to a total of 3 different churches and 5 different church service in 3 days. Everyone that went on the trip was totally blessed to be able to go on this trip. We also were able to stop at two random places. First was a plaza(park) and gave over 60 backpacks and over 80 candy bags(didn't have enough backpacks to give out). We also stop at a basudero(a place were everyone throw their trash), their 5 backpacks were given out to this children that were cleaning an area because they said that was were they were going to live with their parents. I thank God that I and my family were able to go, everyone on the trip learn something and that included myself. I learned that I might not be able to provide for my daugthers as much as I would love to but at least I am present. This is why I say this. At one of the churches that we went to there was 2 boys around 8 or 9 years old. We were talking and all of the sudden one of them saids "I can't play with him(the other boy), because last time he told me he wanted to play boyfriends and my parents hit me". After this boy left we talked to the other one and he said that his mom and dad work all the time and that he is always left alone with his older brother. My mom and I were in awe of what we had just heard, and at that point I thank God that even thought I might not be able to provide money wise to my daughters but I was present in their lives and believe me, will always be too. In a few days I will post some pictures of the trip.
Also would like to add that on September 26 my parents celebrated their 29th anniversary. Continue to pray for them. That even thought there are many things to do, that they don't forget about each other. Happy Anniversary Ma y Daddy!!! 29 is not so much...its still young... I mean.... you know what I mean. I love you both!

Back 2 School 2011

over 700 backpacks we given out on August 20 and 21st. here are a few of the many pictures we took of these days. I think this year was very calm beside the fact that in one service we gave over 400 backpacks!! God is good and we praise him because so many children got their backpacks with school supplies. We pray that they have a great school year. Enjoy some of the picture... Thanks for your support and prayers!

They're back!

7 wonderful and missed people(friends) from Indiana (New Life and NMC) came down during B2S 2011. It was such a great blessing and surprise to see them all. We have prayed that God be able to seen teams down and what a great team to send down after a year and so. Spiritually it was so refeshing to see them, to be able to talk to them and have them pray over us. They were of great help. Helping give out more then 700 backpacks in the Juarez Area.

God Bless you all and we shall see you again.

Congratulation to Xavier and Olga Ramirez

Here are a few pictures taken from our camera of that day.....it was a beautiful wedding!

Pa' Lante!

Hermano/a en Cristo!

solo tomamos este tiempo para decirte echale ganas! todo pa' lante nada para atras.

Como decia un hermano en una predicacion.

Tu le importas a Dios!

El se preocupa por ti!

El te ama!

prosigamos a la meta que es Cristo.

La recompensa vendra...

los amamos y oramos por cada una de ustedes.

we could be so selfish sometimes!

How many of us need things? things that we want? Ipad, Car, Home, money. How many times do we ask God that he provide them to us? God, I need a this! God, I need that! God, I want that! I... I... I...

Our hearts has been heavy lately because of so many things that are helping in Ciudad Juarez. Happening to people we love, we care. People we see daily.

Sometimes we could be so selfish wanting things for ourselves when there are people out there that need things.

We have seen first hand how many women are having problems with there husband. Husbands that will abuse their wife, physically, mentally and sexually.

We have seen how a mother is pleading for life for her child because he/she is ill. We went to visit a women who 2 year old was dieing. TWO YEAR OLD! that's Ruby's age. I cried as I heard her story. How all she would ask God "WHY!! Please heal her!!"

We have seen men that are in need of a job. That you see him and doesn't look like that man you knew before.

We have seen women are needing to get a job because there husband has left them.

We have seen families that don't have anything in their refrigerator, only a gallon of water and beans.

We have seen families sleep on the floor because they don't have a bed.

And then I think to myself..."here I am asking God for things I want when their are people that need things"

Why are we so selfish sometimes?

It hurts to see people in the condition that they are, and we tell them "If we could fix your problems we would". All we could do is pray for them and not be selfish and just pray for myself.

VBS in Riveras!
