What better way to spend Valentine's Day than to lend a hand to a family with needs. The bitter cold weather made it miserable for the people in Nuevo Progreso. For warmth most of them burned dead tree limbs which they chopped up with machetes, a slow and difficult task. Lloyd took his small electric chain saw to one house where he helped cut the long branches into usable lengths of wood.
After I took this picture of Lloyd, Rogerio one of the boys in the family, brought over some concrete blocks they could prop the limbs on to make the job easier on their backs. Before long they had a nice stack of wood ready for cooking fires or for campfires to keep them warm.
There are many different ways to help people and most ways just require willingness to get involved. It is easier to talk to people about the Lord after standing in their shoes for awhile.
