June 30 Hurricane Alex Hits

Last night it started to rain, and it hasnt stopped since. I went to del norte today and we did some work but not much because of the rain. Juanita and did puzzles. A couple of the groups went out to the Rios, the squatters villages we serve at, and passed out tarps and flashlights. The rain is just pouring and is constant with no let up. I am very worried about the people in these villages because they do not have homes to protect them from the weather. I pray that God will shelter them with his heart and love, and keep them safe. Psalm 91.

The roads here in mexico dont have sewer systems to collect the water. so the roads just flood. Here are some pics from today. I swipped a couple of them of one of my friend Cassie's Blog. It is crazy to see this, and how people drive through it. When we got back, we began hooking up generators and water pumps. I am not sure how much longer we will have power so this could be my last blog for a couple days. I will keep you posted on the situation down here. sad thing is that this is only the beginging. The storm actually hits tomorrow afternoon. Our campus has already begun to flood, and out cieling leaks in our room. But I trust you God. You have got something planned up there, I just know it.

Please keep the people in the Rios in your prayers.

The verse Matthew 18:3 says "And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

Children dont always worry about things, they are more trusting and just go with the flow. I think that God is telling us to be like that with him. Not to worry about tomorrow of yesterday, and to accept things for what they are, trusting God that what has happened is his will. A childs heart is so fragile, as I have learned down here. But when they are determined to do something, they do it, regardless of the consequences, and regardless to what others think of them. I know that I am always worring about what others think of me, and I constantly consult others to see what they think, and if that sounds good, or right. But God wants us to to stop relying on people all the time and Just trust him in every situation.

One thing I have learned About the Bible, is that each verse holds something incredable. It is usually not always obvious, but God never says it will be easy. John 16:33 in this world you will have troubles, but take heart, I have overcome the world. He wants us to think, and to be stumped sometimes. If it just came to us, it wouldnt mean as much.

Hope this helps. This what I got from it.
