PLEASE PLEASE PRAY FOR ALEJANDRA she is 16 and the rest of her siblings are in an orphanage somewhere near Ensenada. We are not sure if she escaped or what the truth is but she is here in Camalu God brought her by our house today. Paulino knew has known her mom for years.
 Praying she will tell the truth and make wise descisions.

You Know You´re Poor if...

Ok ok just thinking over being poor.

A little bit of funny humor that may be offensive!

You know you are poor when your dog goes to church with you because you can not afford a fence! Worse yet between the walk from church to the house the dog stops at the fishermans house and rolls in his pile of discards then goes and sits near the pastor while she is trying to preach at the front of the church.

You know you are poor when you think your neighbors pigs stink or maybe you need a septic tank and are truly not sure if both are not correct.

You know you are poor when all of your English students notebooks fly away because they only had a few pages anyways and you have class outside on a table because your trailer has no space!

You know you are poor when you go to turn on the water and then think it does not come out because you did not pay the bill or because there is no water supply today!

You know you are poor when you think rice and beans is a complete meal when you put chilis and onions for vegetables!

You know you are poor when the radio is too expensive to plug in so you listen to an ipod mini that you can charge while online at the internet café!

You know you are poor when you look for 50 cents on the ground to pay your 30 minutes on the internet!

You know you are poor when the discussion every few days is how to heat bath water and which is more expensive! Gas, Electric or going to find fire wood (gas in a car).

You know you are poor when you take your son to the zoo which is actually a walk to look at the neighbors ostrich and saint bernards!

You know you are rich when every kid in the neighborhood wants to eat at your house because you eat two meals a day and better yet they just want to be there because Jesus lives in and through you!

HUGE PRAISE REPORT!
Today is trash day and Bernardo who many of you have seen my post to pray for, was working on the trash truck. He is Paulino Martinez Roque best friend and has stopped using drugs but alcohol seems to keep him tied. A few weeks ago we took him everywhere with us, even took him to get a social security card so he could get work. Then the other night at 10PM he came over drunk and needed a place to sleep, my thought was we really need a fence, Paulino ran to get a sleeping bag and using some of our plywood made a tent to protect him. Talked to him until he passed out and then at 5AM he announced he was getting up and going to work! Well we are praising God that he has work and praying he will choose to walk with Jesus!

Please pray for Mrs. White and her family. Last Sunday they were praying for a church to go to close to home. On  Monday the pastor and I were doing door to door evangelism and invited her to church the daughter almost cried.  Pray God provides ALL of their needs she is a single mom.

Please pray for Mrs. Brown a very good friend and neighbor to Mrs. white she is basically a single mom because her husband is alcoholic. Her leg is fractured and she needs Jesus to heal her. Please pray God will provide all of her needs! 

God is amazing last week the guys got hot dogs from Dorothy Greatrex left overs from the church dinner. This week someone else offered hot dogs that had been in the freezer for a few years Paulino Martinez Roque mixed them with beans and chilis and the guys thought it was the best dish so far!

Have you ever had one of those days when you just finished Elementary school English class and you are getting ready to feed 50 people. Then for some dump reason you go to the internet to fight with paypal of why they are not transfering your money that you need right now! The enemy reminds you that you are not good enough to love on these people. AND then you remind him of his future!
