                  Feliz Navidad y Ano Nuevo Prospero

Another year has flown by and what it year it was.  The blessings far outweighed the trials and tribulations.  As you can see by the new masthead, we have a new façade thanks to the efforts of some young people from Canada who came through Hero Holidays.  My “new” office building is nearly finished with thanks to more Hero Holiday folks as well as men from His Hands and Feet, Chillowock, B.C. Canada.  Deb and Larry Wilson, Lodi, CA, brought much appreciated and needed bottled water, an air conditioner to be used next summer, food, a stereo, art supplies, clothes, funds for expenses, and many other valuable items.  They personally blessed me with a small generator that I can use at my residence when my small solar system is not enough.  Eight large boxes of new toys, games, art supplies, and some clothing items were sent all the way from Surrey, B. C. donated by the children of Gracepoint Community Church.  Thanks to the men and women of His Hands and Feet, B.C. who had our water storage tank finished as well as most of the interior of our new office building.  Thanks also to Kerri Hutton who has been fundraising in Canada for us. We are so deeply thankful and pray the Lord’s blessings in return to all who participated on our behalf. ♥

                      Christmas Party and BBQ

Saturday, December 8th, was a day we will long remember.  The saints from Living Waters Fellowship, Coronado Island, CA sponsored a Christmas celebration for all our children and all their brothers and sisters.  Sixty children received “shoebox” gifts and enjoyed delicious barbequed hamburgers with all the trimmings.  A special homemade treat of various cookies was also on the menu.  What a nice day we had as the Lord held back the rains for a few hours so we could all enjoy ourselves outside.  Special thanks go to Roxanne Rowan and Brandy Cook for their efforts in spearheading this special day and to all the people who participated with wonderful gifts, delicious cookies and service.  Thanks to Pastor Rance Cook for bringing tables and chairs and BBQ and to Cheryl Brummett who came in her clown outfit and created balloon art for all the kids.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. ♥

                 

 

                                                                       

School Assistance Program

Heartfelt thanks go to a very special lady, Elle Ericksson, who has been raising funds in Canada for school uniforms for our School Assistance Program and to our friend, Mac Sterrett, Staunton, Virginia.   Due to their efforts, 9 children are now attending school that otherwise may never have had the chance.  ♥

A Note from the Editor:

Lord willing, I plan to be in the States for Christmas with my family and friends and for a little R & R until mid-January.  Except for December 24 and 25, rainy days, and New Year’s Day, the daycare center will be open and in the capable hands of Servando and Martha Huerta.  I thank the Lord for them everyday.  I will check emails periodically, so please continue to stay in touch.  Hope your Thanksgiving was bountiful.  May your Christmas be all you hoped for and your New Year blessed from the start.  Ruth-Ann. ♥
