The house in Mexico


Friends of ours gave us another 100€ (about $160) towards the house in Mexico. We now have about $1000 total towards building materials. We need $5000 to pay for the materials for one house. Nicole will be asking for funds this weekend at Heidelpraise, a worship service in Heidelberg. I bought 300 paint brushes on e-bay. We hope to put colorful stickers on the brushes that say God bring salvation to Mexico( Dios trae la salvación a México ) on them. Nicole will be giving the brushes away for donations at the concert. Please pray that people will be generous and give abundantly towards this need. I want to thank our friend Peter for allowing Nicole to do this. She is bringing her girlfriends with her. I believe the kids will all be blessed to see that the small things they do can really be used to change peoples lives. I think too many young people feel like they don't matter. God gives all of us gifts, and what we have to offer does matter. Any way, please pray God blesses the service this weekend.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
