Sunday March 22nd

Yikes, the time is flying by...not good!

Beautiful day here today, the sun is out and no threat of rain.

Katie and I went to Mexico for noon to see the kids. Livario picked us up at the Pharmacy with Livy. I wanted to check out a couple of things to do with their internet, so we stopped at a store that sells cell phones. The elderly gentleman who owns the store speaks very good english so that was helpful. He is an exclusive dealer for Movistar which is a competing provider to Telcel. I learned a few things but he said that during the week the young guys that work for him know a lot more about what I am looking for than he does.

We spend a great afternoon with the girls. We had lunch with them as well. It was just a great time on a very nice day.

We learned that Erika is in the process of getting all her papers together for an attempt at getting a US visa at some point. Last year we gave Livario the money to try and get his, but he got turned down because he could not prove to them that he would come back to Mexico if they allowed him across the border on a Visa. What a shame, trapped in your own country, and trying to do things legally.

Erika is going to set up a bank account in Rio Bravo, which they have never had before. We will help her with that, and whatever else they need to try and get Visas. They will not go to Matamoras this time for the Visa Interview, instead they will go to Monterrey where it is supposed to be an easier process. Erika's mom lives in Monterrey.

It was time to go then, Livario drove us to the bridge, and Karelly and Livy walked us to the bridge turnstyles as they always do, holding our hands as usual.

Katie and I went to Rudy's barbeque for dinner, and it was really good as usual.

Later on a night we went for a walk. The sky was perfectly clear and all the stars were vivid in the sky.

It was a quarter moon with the planet Venus right beside it. What a sight!



And so ends another great day in the Valley!

more later...

About Us

Every Year for the past few years, Katie and I journey to Pharr, Texas, where we have a mobile home in Paradise Park. We also sponsor three girls in Nuevo Progeso, Mexico, so they can go to school. We travel to Mexico to see the kids, with Sr. Maureen Crosby who runs the program and our friends Ken and Vickey, who are Sr. Maureen's constant helpers. Starting last year we also go by ourselves several times
