Nights in the Sierra Madre Mountains are near freezing. During September we have been collecting jackets for the Cora children and sleepers for the babies. A few weeks ago I enjoyed talking to the children at church about this project. The preschool department at church, family and friends have donated generously and we were able to bring 65 children’s jackets of all sizes with us. My Dad and Luke packed them into vacuum-sealed storage bags, and I’m so thankful that we didn’t have to open them when going through customs. There’s no way we could have gotten them back into the bags.
Several years ago we collected jackets and sent them to Mexico with family. This time we’re excited to be able to actually deliver and distribute them. I hope to take pictures so the children in the U.S. can see how they played a part in this ministry and how God uses all of us working together. Thank you to each one of you who has given to this project. I’ll try to get some great pictures for you.

What a blessing those coats will be for so many people in Santa Teresa and the surrounding area. It gets so cold up there. Blessings to you Craig and Brad and to your Dad and Luke for the work you did with your church to gather these coats.
