GOD guards me, keeps me in perfect and constant peace because my mind(both its inclination and its character)is stayed on HIM, because I commit myself to HIM, lean on HIM, and hope confidently in HIM..
It has been a good day..Tho as we started to leave for school this morning I noticed the van felt funny after moving only about 15 feet..I got out to find we had a flat tire..There was a nice big screw decorating a spot in the tire..Looked very nice but the tire didnt like it to much...I backed up to a level spot and got out the, I would say jack ,but for a 15 passenger van what I was looking at was not going to work..But since it was in the van and the only thing I had I started..First just on the ground then with a block..First tried on the side with the frame, then in the front with part of the front suspension..Then I walked over and knocked on our neighbors door thinking that maybe it was just that I was a woman..Felt better when I realized..IT WAS THE JACK..He was kind enough to run around the corner to the ywam base and bring back an air compressor and he aired it up as I tightened back up the lug nuts and away I went to the fix your tire store..Which was just up on the hard road a mile or so..They had a wonderful floor jack and power gun to remove the nuts..and it was fixed in 15 mins..after about an hour here...and only 40 pesos..which is less than $4...While I was doing that Sandra looked up the school on line and she can review each days class and practice online...Pretty cool..We also called the school and told them our problem...She also missed Monday because of the power steering..All is good...She has basketball practice tonight..Soccer practice tomorrow night..Then another family that is adopting is coming in on Friday..So this week is passing quickly...5 more days and I can call the passport office...YES!! I almost finished filling out her visa and citizenship papers today..We still have to get the photos for that done..When we did all the other pics for the passport and school courts they were unable to do the residencia photo for some reason I didnt quite understand but we plan on gettting that done before Monday..JUST IN CASE..I recieved a phone call from my wonderful mother-in-law yesterday that really touch my heart..She told me how much my blogging helps her..I have had others tell me that too..and it helps me to know that what I am doing here is helping others ..Not just me..That the same scripture that gets me thru a day helps someone else too..I have also given our agency's contact info to a lady who lives here who knows ALOT about the process on this side to see if they might be interested in hiring someone to help them here in Juarez..Plus it would help to supplement this persons income..Things are not the best here with the economy either..If I were going to live here for a REALLY long time I would approach someone with the knowledge I have gain thru this...It takes ALOT of work here(plus knowing how to work the system) and I cannot imagine some family with NO connection here being able to do it..If it were not for the fact of the people I have known thru the years I do not know if I could have done this. There are so many little details that no one would know had they not gone thru it..Either knowing the tricks and details or tribling your time to do it..So much knowledge.Both with adoption process and life..I need to find away to use it somehow..I have a few ideas rolling around in this head..I do plan on doing something with these thoughts....
I take heed, and guard my life diligently, lest I forget the things which my eyes have seen and lest they depart from my (mind)and heart all the days of my life. I teach them to my children and my children's children..
We just came in from Sandra's basketball practice..not soccer. That is tomorrow night..Please remember a girl name Nancy in your prayers..She lives at the home where Sandra was..I noticed her the first time we went there..Never knew her story until last week..She is 22..Does not look over 16..Lived with her mother here until they found the mother dead one day. No more family except an uncle in New Mexico but Nancy is unable to get a visa to go live with him for some reason.So she shall spend the rest of her life hovering around Casa Eudes I pray..DO NOT want to think any other thoughts.. Nancy has a mental handicap..It is obvious..anyway very sweet..and quiet..but when we arrived tonight as usually Nancy came and hovered around quietly..I noticed something just didnt seem right..I asked her if she was ok and she said no and started to weep quietly..We can not communicate any further but please pray for her....All I could do was to gently rub her back...It is everywhere here and in the world...

Hello it's me again,your husband.Another day.Yesterday wasen't to bad for me either,my day started moving a mobile home out of the park.The home was in bad shape and the county told us it had to go,but we did'nt own it.After we legally took possession,new floor's,all new window's,doors and sideing.But it was still slated for demo.When we were told they were taking bids for the demo. and we would have to pay. Anyway,it's hard work.Mark our pastor,(great guy)asked me to come by the church,to see if a wheelchair ramp to the stage was possible.Just in time for bible study.I like it when my days are full so I dont think of how much I miss you.I am thankfull for good freinds,their encouragement and kind words help alot.Keep looking ahead to the prize and keep your faith my wife.You will be home soon.In his love, Hap
