Where are we going?
Right where the boarders of Texas and Mexico meet there is a little town called Nuevo Laredo.
Nuevo Laredo is part of the Laredo-Nuevo Laredo Metropolitan area with a total population of 718,073. We will be staying at Rio Grande Missionary Help ministry in Laredo, TX, and traveling each day over the boarder into Nuevo Laredo. Missionaries Bill and Carolyn Waldrop have been serving in this area since the 70's and will be providing dormitories for us to sleep in as well as Spanish gospel tracts to distribute.
As mentioned in the last post, we plan to take a minimum of 50 five gallon buckets to the people of Mexico. They will be filled half of rice and half of beans, along with tracts. We even plan to decorate the exterior of the buckets by writing verses on them.
We have discovered that restaurants get their shipments of mayonnaise in these exact buckets we are wishing to use and so Ms. Melissa has set up her "Bucket Brigade".
The Teenagers will be going out February 16th at 3:00pm to many restaurants to see if they will donate the empty five gallon buckets with the lids.
By doing this it will cut back on the amount of money we will have to spend. Each bucket would cost approx $5.( Not including the contents) If we are able to get them all donated we will be saving $250! The cost for the contents will be approx. $10 per bucket.
We also have several other fundraisers coming up and we will expound on them as they develop.
Above all please keep our Mission in your Prayers.
Thank you,
