José Luís Velásquez was called home

Elma phoned on Thursday morning at 9:50 asking for prayer. Her husband had been admitted to a Houston suburban hospital the night before. She didn't know the name. They were visiting her daughter, son in law and grandson when he became sick.  He said he wanted to go to Reynosa, not to the hospitable. But, he was feeling terrible, sweating and could not breathe well. He had a couple of heart attacks that night. He died at 10:30 Thursday morning. Elma asks for prayer at this difficult time. She kept repeating, "He was very good".  José Luís has always been very supportive of the ministry and Elma's calling from God. 

As you may know, Elma and her husband own a home in Reynosa, where they lived when she was in the insurance business. They son José and daughter, Berta, live in Texas, are married to Mexican nationals, and are seeking residency. Elma and José Luís have rented a house in Hidalgo, TX, near the international bridge for 8+ years, because their children are not allowed to cross over into Mexico more than once or twice per year while they are in the process of seeking residency. The home in Reynosa has been rented during these years.

Mikey, Carla, and Margarita, the loyal staff, are managing the home in Elma's absence. Your prayers for everyone, including the precious children of Casa MAMi are very appreciated. Thank you.
