Our cup overflows!!
What rich blessings God gives us through you all…read on and see!

Texas Team…
Incredible! They hit town in dribbles and spurts. Just about every vehicle they had broke down or over heated on the way from San Antonio so the first group arrived 5 hours late. (1:30 am!) those poor people! The next shift did not get in until 3:00 am and then…one more vehicle broke down on the way up the mountain and they had to rent a 3 ton truck to get them up there! But, not one complaint from any of them. And, it was hot! 105 some days! Still, the 4 buildings are beautiful and totally finished. God helped them all, they said. Pastor Shawn told us afterwards that he felt like he was walking out the book of Acts as he watched the people in Noe’s village come to the Lord, and begin to lay hands on each other and pray!  Miraculous stuff up there! God is so good!

The team here was an equal blessing as they did the prisons (40 salvations at the men’s prison on family day), hospital and worked with the casa and church kids, too. Thank you all for praying!

“New” Van!…
My daughter Anissa and her girls drove the new/used minivan down to us with the help of our new friend, Linda. We will be able to legalize it soon. God is so faithful! Heather is already hauling the casa kids all over town with it! We are grateful to those who helped us buy it. SGT missions gave toward it and some folks from JP, too. This enabled us to pay it off and have some funds to pay for driving it down. PTL!

More Blessings…
Last week Scott Forsmith and his family arrived from NY. He has been doing a marriage and family conference and also individual counseling. What a blessing they all are! Horacio and Katy are so grateful for their help with our church family and we are enjoying them so very much. Many many thanks to those who helped send them!

Terremoto…
It starts on the 11th for me. We are trying a new format this year. Everyone is looking forward to seeing what God does with these young people and in the towns where they will work. I am so happy to have a big group coming down from LWCC in MN. We surely would appreciate your prayers.

More Praises & Prayers…
Katy is due mid July so we ask prayer for a safe and healthy delivery. Huge answer to prayer…God is sending not one but two interns down this fall. Katy will have help with teaching and extra help with the casa kids and for me, too! PTL!

Please keep praying for Suzanne and Jeremy…the hearing did not go the way we’d hoped but we believe that God is changing hearts anyway! All the Glory will be to the Lord!
We appreciate your faithful support and love so very much!
Our love to you all,
Lee Anne, Katy, Horacio, Kasey, Ryan, Molly and Max
