Friday Thoughts...From Chris Mullenhour

Time has been absolutely flying by. First I would like to tell you what some of us have been working on. Kent VanFossen, Jacob Ditmer and I had the privilege to work with a group from Monroe, OH and another gentlemen (Alen) on installing solar panels for the new orphanage in Rosarito. We had to climb up onto a sloped structure and install 6 panels, then a seventh on another building and and an eighth panel above the kitchen to power the freezer and fridge. It tested us physically and mentally. But we were able to get it all done in 2 days and the new orphanage was able to use the power from the solar panels yesterday. They turned off their diesel generator and let the sun power take care of them. It was awesome. I hear that it is pretty rare for a project to be started and completed to where we can see it's benefits immediately. So we are very blessed to see that complete. God is so good. Watching all the different projects being worked on and completed has been rewarding, but watching and experiencing what God is doing in each of us here is nothing but miraculous. It is amazing what changes in you when you get away from you everyday life and go somewhere just to serve them. I feel like there are no issues in my life right now. I know they will return when I return home. But why? Why can I live here not worrying about work, providing for my family, what's on tv tonight, but I can't do that at home? That's something for me and everyone else here to figure out.
