Meet Fidel & Lucia Arenales Jacinto!
I have mentioned Lucia before...she is the mother of one of my cooks
and even though she is in her 60's, Lucia has been bed ridden for 4 years now
with 2 herniated discs in her back and a broken right arm
(surgery is not an option because of her severe osteoporosis).
Lucia and her husband met at the Mission's first clinic:
Fidel was the patient and Lucia the nurse...the rest was history 😊

(Above photos): The brave souls who tore down the house Wednesday morning.
(Above photo) It took about 1.5 hours to tear down the old house...
(and about 30 of those minutes were spent dodging
the numerous spiders and fire ants that were EVERYWHERE!)
(Above photo) Wednesday afternoon,
we had a different crew help place the foundation and posts.
Thursday we were given a day with NO rain and we finished the house by noon!!!
Thank you again for giving another poor family
a gift they always hoped for... a beautiful new home
and new friends with the love of Christ in their hearts!
