In an earlier post I mentioned that there are two brothers in our 
fellowship that we feel strongly to bless this season. They are two of the strongest believers in the village, and work hard for their families. Uriel and Manuel both have many construction needs for their homes, but never enough money to do anything about it. I have been asked to coordinate the financial needs for these projects, and so want to share them withyou: Above: Urielito, Fernanda, Daniela, friend Estefania

Uriel is in need of a much better baño (bathroom). Pictured are his
current outhouse facilities for a 
toilet. It consists of three walls and a cement “seat” over a hole in the ground. 
They bath in the kitchen, which is also outside. They live in a tiny two-room house with their three children. For love of the brother and a willingness to serve, Lacy and I took a portion of our funds to begin the project of a bathroom. We currently have enough to build the walls and plaster them, but that is all we can afford. We have split the needs into sections for sponsorship by a person, group, or church. They are as follows: Plumbing, Toilet, Floor, Roof, Electrical, and small miscellaneous needs.
Manuel, with his son and wife, sleep in a house smaller than most living rooms in the United States. Their kitchen and bathroom
are, like Uriel’s home, also outside. We have spoken with Manuel and have decided that we will build a Ramada (a large covered room with no walls) in the back yard for more space for them and a covered meeting place for the fellowship. We currently meet in different yards and homes 2 or 3 nights a week. This structure will serve as both shade for Manuel and Maria through the week and place to hold meetings. The structure will consist of several block pillars with concrete poured down the center, a metal frame welded in place on top, and finally an indigenous roof of sticks, topped with plastic or cardboard, then dirt, plastic, and more dirt. It insulates well and is much cheaper than a metal roof. It will also be equipped with a wood stove in the center for the cold winter nights. Since we meet out side when the sun goes down, the meetings in the winter months of December, January, and February get very chilly for the elderly and children, of which we have many of both.

The lifestyles we have portrayed are standard for most families here. They will never ask for help; their sense of pride and work ethic will not let them. Mexicans are hard-working people, and take pride in both the cleanest and most dirty jobs. Their day-to-day work for living needs is tiring just to watch! We wish that we could help everyone who has a need, but financially it is impossible, so we do what we can as God gives us the ability..
