GRACE ’15 II (TUESDAY, 2/10)

Tuesday, February 10th, 2015

A really strong day!  The medical team had a good day.  I do not know the numbers but was told by several that the flow of patients was steady all day.  They also did a food distribution at the end of the day.  This was the final day of medical and it went well.  Special thanks to Laurie King for organizing everything.  She does very good!

The building team of twenty folks had an amazing day.  I had fully expected we would stay out until dark and did not know if we would be finished with all twenty houses by the end of the day.  We completed all twenty houses and drove away from the village at 4:15PM.  We do all of our concrete work which adds to the time needed to finish a house.  Amazing!  Roger, Dean, Tom & Freddie did great in their respective leadership roles today.  Everyone worked hard and efficient.  To God be the glory!

A restful evening of eating and fellowship was had by all.  All is well here.  Thanks for checking on us and praying for us.  Blessings!

GRACE ’15 II (MONDAY, 2/9/15)

Tuesday, February 10th, 2015

This entry is late.  My apologies.  Dave Scholz was supposed to write an entry last night and he neglected to do so.

At any rate, Monday was another good day for this team.  The medical drove to the Coast again and had some really good ministry opportunities.  I do not know the numbers but I do know they stayed pretty busy.

The building team actually increased to eighteen team members.  They were able to build six more houses (only lack a couple of small things on two).  This team has been small in number, has encountered some of the hardest ground we have ever seen in Guatemala and the houses are spread out from El Salvador to Honduras which takes time to unload, load, move, et cetera.  However, their attitudes have been nothing short of amazing!

The building team left the work sites early yesterday in order to do a food distribution in El Durazno.  That was a special time.

Everyone is well.  Thanks for praying!  Blessings!
