Dear family & friends;
We are so happy to see the new roof go up this Saturday. It makes the house renovating project look like it's on a roll. We are excited.
The aluminum roof was ordered from the factory in town, and delivered on Friday late afternoon. The beams and all supporting wood were all in place. Counting the pieces of aluminum as it came off the truck, and measuring to be sure they were cut to correct size was important. This is probably the most expensive part of the renovation.
Brenda got to cut the tar tape that covers the nails used in the roof. Everyone got to have a hand in putting the roof up.
Matt was one of the taller men to help keep the aluminum going up to the workmen atop the rafters.
We were all happy and very tired when the roof was finished at the end of the day. It has rained heavy 3 times, and there were no leaks!!! We rejoice at the new roof. Next will be the windows, security bars and doors, and then we'll start on the inside of the house.
PRAISE THE LORD!

Matt & Brenda--
Thank you SO much for your faithfulness in updating your blogs. We crave news of your goings on and, especially, the progress of trebuilding of your home. Praise God for His Mighty Works!
Matt, your name came up in class today. Anthony Nunez was telling me about a teaching he'd received from his Sunday School teacher yesterday that Anthony said was "so far from wrong, I couldn't stand it. I wish Mr. Carr were still here so I could talk to him about it." You are missed, Matt, and your ministry here still rings true, especially when the students know what they're hearing is false. It was so heartening to hear this young man stand on the truth of God's Word, and he was angry!
We miss you both, and pray for you daily.
In His grip, Carolmarie
