We had a beautiful sunny day here at refuge ranch! For which we were very thankful! We had guys up on the roof, putting some sealing down, to prevent the leaks coming in on the warehouse. Many people painted the warehouse area, and what will be the expanded classrooms. There were bins, bags and suitcases full of clothes that were sorted and moved into the warehouse. The curriculum purchased is all sorted and ready for classes. The younger Zaragoza children got to have a ride on their new horse Sonia.

This evening we gave all the family and friends here at Refuge Ranch the many gifts purchased by our Mayfair family. What fun we had watching them all open the goodies. We all got pretty crazy shouting "yeah" "ohhh" and clapping, which was fun seeing everyone so silly! Victor even kissed Zak!Doing "the wave" during the excitement of gift giving

Our group came back this evening (after the kids rode in the back of the pickup truck to our motel), and had a time of sharing our highs and ah ha moments. God is Awesome!

This is such a beautiful place, filled with beautiful, loving people. Thank you all who helped get here financially and for all who have prayed and are continuously praying for us. For that we are grateful! God is So Good!

Joyfully Serving Him,
Tracy Cox

PS to John & Jan: Thanks for the update on Tessa!
