Hello everyone, we are back for a long tiring trip. We were able to get out trailer and deliver the donations that everyone from the Williston area gave. They went to an orpahange that was in need. A mens prision and also to the garbage dumps of Reynosa. Many people live there and have nothing. We brought our trailer back to Mexico City with us. We ran into some problems with some crooked cops. They said we needed a special permit that the boarder agency didn't tell us we needed. Satan was definitly at work on this trip. He hates that we are doing the Lords work. We were over charged on so many things this trip. He knew we had very little money to make this trip. So he doubled the cost of everything. We know that this trip was for the Lord and He always provides for His children. As for the crooked cops, I pray that the Lord has more mercy than I wanted to give them at 2:30am in the morning :)
We are now moving into our home. We are in between the two places now. Please pray that I (Amanda) can have the energy that I need to do all that is necessary. We are moving into our home with another Mexican family. They have three children. We will have a busy home but it really is nothing different than we are use too. Please keep the prayers coming for my health. I am wishing I could be more patient with the healing process. Also hoping for things to slow down a little in our lives. Thank God for the Saboth (Saturday) our family day and the day of the Lord.
Blessings in His name, Amanda

Road Trip this weekend!
We are planning a trip this weekend to Texas. We will leave early Sat. morning and return home Wednesday night. We are going to get our trailer and try and bring as many donations as we can with us. We are planning on working one day in Reynosa. For sure in an orphanage and I am not sure where else. Please be in prayer for a safe trip and for financing this trip. Reynosa is one of the poorest places in Mexico. Please also pray for us to get the donation across the boarder. If we are not able to bring them across, please pray that they would go to the people that are in the most need of them. God has His ways of making things happen. If they are suppose to be in North Mexico or South Mexico it don't matter to us. We are just HIs hands and feet. Thanks to everyone that donated the clothing and that helped make this happen. We will try and get pictures for all of you. Blessings Amanda

Hello :)
Hello everyone, we are now working on the house we are going to rent. We have been
painting, taking down wall paper and changing some flooring. The owners are a blessings, they said that we could use our deposit money to help work on the house. It really needed a face life. Very dirty and old but we are very excited to have a house to live in. We need to be in it around the 15th of Oct. It is taking longer than we wanted to work on it but that is what happens when people are sick in your home. I have been very tired but am pushing through to get it done. My husband has been wonderful to just tell me to stay home and rest. It is amazing how hard it is to rest. Things always come up and our lives are not exactly normal ones. We are praying for a balance. I have been abe to rest thought while Ross and the girls are at school, which I am VERY thankful for. You realize how nice it would be to have family around you at times like this. We miss them but we keep pushing through. We are excited my parents (Amanda) are planning to come in Feb. We are looking forward to seeing them.
We are also going to be having another family living with us in our new home. They have two kids close to our age. We are excited to have them with us. Please be in pray for all of us to adjust. Please also be in pray for our upcoming party at our home. We are going to have another party at our neew home for the teenage group we work with. Nov. 1st is a big holiday here. They celebrate Day of the Dead during OCt. and Nov. 1st. We are fighting against this spirit and are going to celebrate life instead. Last year we had 25 teenagers stay at our home. Please keep us up in your prayers for this party.
