I want to share this letter with all of you from Leo Paez, a Christian brother, in Mexico. Leo supports 3 child rescue centers, Teen rescue, and rescue centers for the elderly. Madera is a beautiful city located in the Sierra Madre. It is also home to one of the child rescue centers.



Joe;



Praise God for all He does!


There is lots of news and lots of good stories to tell you, but for now, I will give you a quick update.



I bought a farm close to Madera, there is 78 acres of farm land and 155 of forest land. I sold a house in El Paso TX, and was able to do the land thing. I bought 22 cows and now there is 24 and growing, planted 65 acres of oats, 5 acres of wheat, and one acre of squash.


I also rented a plot where we planted 25 acres of corn, and 2.5 acres of wheat. The 500 apple trees are doing just fine, eventhow the rows are not even and somehow not well organized, I still believe they are beutifull. The farm is my own personal asset, but all I produce will go to feed the orphans. The farm also has 50+ fully mature apple trees, and we will be canning and storing the fruit crop. The pigs are now 32, with 4 lady pigs pregnant, and a new king of the castle high quality, pure blood male I just got. We will be milling the corn and oats (hole plants) into an animal feed for the cows as well as pigs and sheep. The sheep have multiply to 28; two males and the rest females and pregnant. We belive that we will hit up to 60 this year for some will have two kids. Hopefully next year, we will hit up to 100 sheep. The pig population will explote, and we will have an overabundance of lard and meat for our places. I will be killing 2 cows for meat at the end of the year for they are old and will have their new calfs soon. Chickens are not doing so well for some coyotes killed 40, but we still have 50 or so. Rabits are not multiplying for I have them in one single cage. Perhaps you could help me build a professional dweling to raise rabits, for we are failling at it. Anyways, lots happening, lots to come, will keep you informed. Keep an eye for farm equipment, for will need lots!
