The coffe shop has opened!

Wow, so much has happened since I've last written! First of all a team from Stanley Wisconsin came down and helped do a ton of stuff at Reyna's house. We put on a brand-new roof, painted inside and out, gave them a small sidewalk, and rewired the entire house. She was so blessed and thankful, it was awesome to see God at work in that house! Side note: Reyna and a couple of the girls have come to church for two weeks now, God is so good! Its nothing we asked or said, she just decided that they needed to be going!

After the team left, David and Leah, Ricky and Tracy and I went to the border. God really renovated the team in a little hotel room in McAllen Texas. :) It was awesome to get away from Cerro Azul, but still be right in the middle of obedience and blessing.

Then on the way home, we picked up Bill, one of the guys from Stanley who stayed behind for an extra couple of weeks, and we built a ton of shelves and a counter-top in Reyna's house, and got her a new stove, and a mattress, and a bunch of pillows! It was so cool! One funny/cool thing, was while we were building the shelves, one of the girls asked what they were and what they were for. When I told her what they were and they were for storage and to put stuff on, her face lit up and she got really excited, it was so cool!

Then pretty much right before Bill left, we started renting the coffee shop, and started working on it. We repainted it, built a bunch of things to go inside, redecorated, and a ton of stuff, it looks so awesome! (There are a ton of pictures on my facebook of all of this stuff by the way) And, We opened last night from 2-10!
It went amazingly well! We had almost more customers than what we knew what to do with! God brought in so many people we were overwhelmed by them all. Not overwhelmed with too many people, just overwhelmed by how good God is. There were people that came, and then returned like an hour later with more people, there were people that wanted to speak English, it was just so awesome! Just on small example of how many people God brought in is that on a good night, the people who previously ran the coffee shop would make about 600 pesos. Last night, God brought in over 2,000 pesos! We couldn't believe the numbers when we heard them, it was so awesome!

Well, today is day number two, and we're excited to see what God continues to do with this place!
