Cooking American

Today we did regular home stuff..I went to the lavaderia and Sandra cleaned the house. Lavaderia is the laundry Mat. Then headed to the grocery store to get somethings I needed to cook speg. for our translator and his family. They are sure GODly people. He loves speg. so I cooked it here at the house, with salad and garlic bread and we headed over to his place about 5. We were to be there at 5:30 to eat. I have been blessed in that I have only been pulled by the military check once in almost 4 weeks. Well guess what..we got stopped..These guys are out in the heat everyday in full gear. Carrying machine guns and bullet proof stuff..anyway they smelled the food right away and started asking questions..I think the only thing that saved our food was a radio call and they just stopped and ran for their trucks..Thank goodness for Carlos...I take it more things are beginning to go on in Juarez because today the military was out in great force along with police and any other uniformed personal..We made it over to Carlos' and had a great feast with watermelon and mango for desert..Carlos and his mother are always uplifting people with amazing hearts for Christ and his will. I am so thankful to have met him a few years ago before we even started the adoption..See how GOD was laying out plans long before we even knew...Carlos has been a very important helper in this adoption with his knowledge of what to do and how to do it..With the most important power on his side...GOD..He lifts up everything we do before we do it in prayer...and you can just feel the spirit on him...Thank you LORD for letting me serve along side a man of GOD like Carlos..anyway better get some rest ...Tomorrow is girls day and night..I get to experince teenage girls and a sleep over..I have seen them on tv and now I get to be at one...COOL....My prayer is to let myself and needs go and just trust GOD with all that we do and know that his way is the one I want to follow...always.
