About the Family:

 

The November family are the Ixcajoc's (pronounced "Itch kah choke").  They are living in the some of the poorest conditions we have seen since we got here.  They live in a cornstalk structure with dirt floors and no beds.  

 

It was such a blessing to meet them and to tell them about God's provision for a new home for their family.  We visited for about an hour, prayed, and cried a little too.  They were so appreciative.  We told them about Journey, the 12x12 project.  They expressed their gratitude not only in words but with their emotions.


The Ixcajoc's are Luterio (dad), Rosa (mom), Manuel Emelio (6) and Oscar Jovani (4). There's no way to express in an email how sweet these boys were.  They were very touchy and wanted to hug and be held.  We get the impression that the family is a loving one.  
Luterio has been a Christian for a while, and Rosa is just starting to accept Christ as well. So...  depending on where Rosa is on her faith journey, it is exciting to us that she may perhaps get a glimpse of Jesus through the 12x12 love project.  
They farm their own land for a living, mostly sweet peas.  They live on Q4 per day, which is about 50 cents.
