Saturday afternoon is for Bible study, and this Saturday Marylou, a neighbor and a good sister in the Lord, wanted to go with me because some of her friends up north had sent money for the poor people in Matamoros. I decided to take a rack of day-old bread, too, as I have been doing all this summer.
First thing, we were turned back at the border--at the Los Indios Bridge, no less, where the day before I had taken another pickup load and had gotten a green light. So we had to turn around, pay our way out of Mexico, and drive to another bridge, some 15 miles down the Rio Grande. We got a green light there.
The photos tell the story of the bread deliveries. We also delivered the gifts that Marylou carried, a bag of clothes to give out, and the little cabinet that Jeanne sent to Martha, our contact point and go-to girl in the colonias.
Then we did a Bible study at Jack and Soledad's place in Colonia Santa Maria as we always do on Saturday afternoons. It was a good study time, even though we were an hour late because of having to drive to the other bridge and because of the deliveries that we made first in Colonia Nueva Jerusalem [where most of the bread pictures were taken.]
We drove around giving away the rest of the bread after the study, & I didn't make it home to Jeanne's cookin' until after 7:00. A beautiful day!
