Last Day of Construction

What a glorious day today was!   The homes are complete and ready for tomorrow's dedications.  We had the largest group of children for GBS too.  We had 104 people who all had a fabulous time, making salvation necklaces, playing soccer and bursting a pinata. 

I even did a little bit of work today on the job site, mostly shoveling sand and rock as we had to dig a drainage ditch and clean up the yard.  It was wonderful to dig in and help out.

We just finished another fantastic meal catered by Professor Carlos's family and are enjoying a slight breeze and telling stories.
 
It's been a great trip and I feel so very blessed to be part of it.  I've made new friends and renewed old friendships.

Tomorrow we will head to the market and purchase mattresses; as this family of 10 have no beds to sleep on.  We'll also look for something for Rosa's family as well.  The afternoon will be filled with the dedication.

We are all very excited for tomorrow to come and see the completion of our work and the blessings our Lord has bestowed on these deserving families.  I pray He continues to bless them each and every day.

Mary
