The summer of puppies and rain!!
I hear some thunder rolling in the distance...please no more rain today!! It really poured earlier this morning. We are just down to one area of roof leakage, the window in the office. The water comes in right from the window frame so we can't put a bucket under the drips. Obviously we haven't gotten that problem fixed yet.
We have sold 2 puppies and their new owners have taken them home already! Last night one couple called and asked if they could please come get "Stella" now, they were too excited to wait any longer. She hopped in her car at 7 and drove over from Shreveport. Both couples seem like wonderful people and took a lot of time picking out just the right pup, they both bought the black nosed females who are now Stella and Maggie! So we are down to 7 at the house but, only 6 left to sell, 5 if we decide to keep one. They are hyper this morning, running and tackling each other!
Calixto along with Coy Lothrop have been working on graphics for brochures, shirts etc. for "For the Fame of His Name" it is exciting to see some progress made on this new "mission". This week we also received a very nice donation to be used in Mexico from a new contact. Next weekend we will be in Glen Rose where Calixto will preach on missions and present the work in Mexico to the church body. The leadership has already decided to partner with us and will be the first church to adopt a mission in the Huasteca. Praise God!!
Since we'll be in Glen Rose we decided to take a few extra days off and vacation at the condo in Granbury. I am so ready for a few days away!
I think I am also ready for school to start...we need the schedule and routine of the fall! Not to mention cooler weather. For today though I am going to enjoy the laid back-ness of a rainy summer day!
Last week Catherine was praying in the car and in the middle she said "thank you that you are the faithful God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who keep your commands..." That is form the first verse we learned this summer...how cool that she was able to put scripture into her prayer and it made sense!! I was amazed and got teary at that.
